Recently someone named Kris3333 came here to vent about a girls HS game she didn't think was officiated well. Apparently Kris is an official and saw a badly ref'ed game, I think she said the foul count was like 40 to 6 (is this possible?!).

IMO the responses were, for the most part, hardly our best moments here. It is possible her judgement was clouded by being a parent of one of the players. Of course it IS possible the refs sucked big time, let's face it some of us are not so good at this and even the best have an off night. It IS possible she just wanted to come here & vent. It IS possible we could have discussed the details of the game. It IS possible we could have talked her out of calling the assignor (it's also possible we would have encouraged her to call the assignor). It IS possible our collective response could have been something more thoughtful than "go away you idiot fan".
