That question alone would spark an 100-post thread in this forum. Arguing whether different shades of a color actually make it a whole new color. :(

Sure, but before we discuss the color...which rule book?

:eek:

Ignore him. He has a history of telling everyone how they should be doing things and how things should be. Then when someone present the correct interpretation or makes a valid counter point or altnernate, he trys to divert your attention from the facts with claims like "you might get away with that there but around here..." or "you'll never move up doing that". Never mind that he's said that to guys who work very impressive schedules.


If that fails, he'll turn it into a socio-economic or racial issue or claim that someone would be offended if you said ---pick any random word--- and you couldn't possibly understand it because you're not him.

Thank you for proving my original point with your well said post. Who the hell is Cameron to me or anyone else here? (A nobody)

Peace

Ah, Don Quixote Rust is still tilting at windmills.....:D

Of course, since you are using your real name, Camron, everything that you say has to be true.

But....Camron, you did leave out <i>"Every D1 and pro official in my area agrees with everything that I post and they also do everything exactly the way that I do"</i>.

REFVA...I think JRut was saying that "no one here has much credibility in their (meaning his associates as THEIR...not any of us) world of officiating."

He could have said, "In my associates eyes, no one here has any credibility...because my associates simply have not seen anyone here work a game."

I don't think even JRut is silly enough to make a blanket statement that NO ONE on this board has any credibility in their area.

P.S. John Wayne didn't use his real name either. ;)

Hey - I've worked some rec games with Camron and he does a great job. He is extremely well respected in his association.

My only criticism of him is that it's difficult sometimes to see everything when he's your partner because of the glare. ;)

The reaction to my statements in this thread is the very reason I made the comments that I did in the first place. It is typical that someone reads something, blows it out of proportion and when all the smoke clears no one changes their mind or point of view. The bottom line outside of this board no one really gives a damn what any of us say and who we are. I feel that way because there is no Ed Hightower, Teddy Valentine, Higgins or Jim Burr that comes here to talk rules, philosophy or anything about officiating on this very board. Considering how many weekend warriors we have that come here and have talked badly about what guys at the NBA and NCAA D1 Tournament level because they do something different at the JH or HS level, I think all those conversations speak for themselves.

Don't take this the wrong way, Rut, but this is intriguing:

If no one here has any credibility, and no one here does anything the way you would, why do you even come here?

Entertainment purposes. Does there have to be some other reason? ;)

Peace

Fair enough.
