If you also want to include that as legitimate to criticize by all means go ahead, but I'm starting to get a sense of the type of person you are.
Have I personally attacked you in any way?

Frankly, this is the first I've read that this particular official has been a problem. It explains why you would assume it was a rule error rather than a judgment disagreement. It also explains why you were cheating up (an assumption from your earlier description of your positioning on the play) a bit to keep your eye on a play so far out of your primary.

We've all been there with partners who have demonstrated incompetence.

I would ask, though, whether this official had previously demonstrated inadequate rules knowlege, or just "irresponsible behavior" (a fairly vague term).
