Now that the background has come to light. What have I learned from this interaction with individuals on this board.
1. They love their fellow officials.
2. They believe because of your (stature, experience, and reputation) it gives you a free pass to do whatever you want. Because you know others will not challenge you on your behavior.
3. They will attack you personally when you don't see things their way.
4. Once it's confirmed they are wrong, they still try to spin it to make you believe you are still wrong.
5. The discussions on the forum are enlightening and gives you a different perspective on how others view not only officiating but society as a whole. I personally may not agree with others at times. I take what they say into consideration.
