Why? Because I still have some small measure of faith in my fellow officials. That may appear naive, but I know most of those who have worked with me over the years wouldn't hesitate to go to the wall for me - and I for them.
It never ceases to amaze me that, in an avocation where the members are frequently and repeatedly abused on a personal level for simply doing their job, some members still don't think twice about turning that around on someone else who's been in their exact same position. I guess that's more of a statement on what human nature has become - always look after No.1, even at the expense of stepping on and over a fellow human being much less a fellow official.
