But, just like the police, one bad apple can ruin the reputation of the larger group (e.g., Rodney King). Unfortunately, because the police often feel like they can only rely on each other, when dealing with bad cops they simply close ranks. Giving up another cop is very difficult.

Ultimately, though, such an approach hurts the public's trust. And, if you take the same approach as officials, you're hurting the game.

I agree with what you're saying. However, your comparison doesn't quite hold in this sitch. OverAndBack is more like a whistleblower in a corrupt precinct. It's not that we're protecting the "bad" refs, just agreeing with OAB that trying to bust a bad 'un might have consequences. There are lots of parts of the country where there's only one reffing group and if you split on it, you're done. That's a tough choice for a new addict.
