Maybe I should add to my point - if most people didn't act that way (possible, probable), meaning, if you didn't tell someone to get lost when they gave you advice, then most people at some point or another didn't think the advice they were getting was worth anything - either that or they felt insulted. People are this way - and in fact they should be. If you are unable to question what you are being told you probably don't deserve to hear it anyway.

We get that, and if you re-read the thread, several posters said as much.

I think it is obvious that all of us have had advice while coming up that was not worth listening to, BUT you still need to just grin and bare it when you get it.

It is also pretty clear that officials contributing to this forum and taking their free time to be there early to watch less experienced officials, deserve at least the respect to listen to their advice.

To shut off that input does an official no good, and once that attitude makes the rounds, that official may as well stop working because they will not be moving up.
