What I like/dislike about this forum

[footlocker]

This forum is awesome. Let's face it, basketball officiating is a complex job that requires diligent refs. The forum promotes this. I wanted to start a thread about what I like and dislike about it.

I appreciate how issues arise in our daily/weekly refereeing that we can discuss on levels of rules and philosophy. There have been situations where I have learned to take a new perspective. There is a ton of experience on this forum. I always know that after coming to an interesting situation in a game that I can make a post and get a bunch of feedback about it.

However, some posters will take any post that disagrees with them and make it a personal attack on the disagreeing party. It is sad really how this detracts from legitimate discussions and becomes ego fighting.

Learning and sharing is good. Thanks.
