Are you kidding? Have you ever asked him a most basic question about basketball rule before? I did. When he realized his answer was wrong, he lectured me about what good officiating was all about, adviced me it would only paralized me if I paid too much attention to those little things, intimidated me with his many years experience, it went on and on...

Of course he has the authority for any topics related to basketball, he knows a person or two who really know some top tier officials. Of course he is superior than the rest of the group. Just look at the many big titles that are dragged along in every single post of his.

Talking about "respect", has he really earned any yet?

thanks.

I am not looking for your respect. Anyone that has any since is not looking for respect on any internet site. I have enough respect from the officials I work with and the officials I attend meetings with.

If by respect you mean "not pointing out your misconceptions", I believe you've got a lot of them, even in this forum, from my own observations. BTW, just like you said, I have not been here long at all.

Respect from a person like yourself here is very hollow and inconsiquential in my life and the lives of others here.

I see your thinking now. "who care what those little guys think. the respect from some one bigger guys is much more important." You are not alone in this. but I want to say that, by doing this, you may end up getting none from anybody.

If you do not like what I say or what others say, then maybe you should take your 100 posts and leave.
if you believe I shouldn't be here if I do not like your comments, you may grant yourself too much value than other people give you.

You are even setting conditions for how people should respond to a question that has been asked several times on this board.
My "condition" was "objective opionion". Are you telling me that was wrong?

If you cannot take the heat, get the hell out of the kitchen. This board is not about you and it is not about me. It is a place where people all over the world come and share their opinions whether you or I like them.
You are absolutely correct! I recommend you to read this to yourself a couple times to really know what does it mean.

But you have to do it quick, because the moderater may delete your post again if he does not think your post is "above board".
