Rut,
although I've vowed to not get in the middle of pissing matches here any more, I think here is the problem with your original post.

We have a rule called "first touching" and that is a spot where the kicking team first touches the ball.

Now, don't you think someone who has admitted to being a non-football official may not understand that there is a possibility of multiple "first touches" and just might assume your statement implies the only touch that matters is the first one since they are operating under standard English rather than football English? Sometimes, you have to remember who your audience is when you answer.
