I guess I am alone in saying I officiate rec leagues in the off season. I find something to work on and I work the games. I understand the opinion to not do them, but I can still find something to enjoy in them. I also take the opportunity to work on conflict resolution and communication. If that doesn't work, the cops could be called.
As far as the comments the OP made - it is a human response. We are at our best when we understand the game on a different level than someone who wants their team to win.
