What I like/dislike about this forum

[Hawks Coach]

LIKE: The vbaluable discussion of rules, interps, handling situations, and some of the banter (it gets a bit much at times for my taste, but I can live with it). Overall, I am pleased to see a growing community of refs that want to share information and improve how they call games - it makes it better for all participants when the refs take things this seriously.

BORES ME (but I understand and simply ignore): Threads on mechanics (a necessary point for y'all, but tedious to me), and any thread on shoes, pants, belts (or not!), deoderant, how to keep your hairpiece on while running the court, etc.

DISLIKE: When threads get overly silly, and when people just throw bombs back and forth. At times, a thread starts on a legitimate point and degenerates from that point because smebody takes things a little too personal. And I probably have been guilty too. but people can get so touchy that we can't even have a discussion of what might be an interesting topic.

HATE: People who come here just to post attacks. This year is the worst I have seen, and I hope it stops. We all have opinions, but this is not your local sports radio call in show - call them if all you want to do is complain about how somebody hosed your team with a bad call.
