I don't know whether that adds anything to the current discussion, but I just wanted to add that. 2) Geeze, Billy, I certainly wasn't aware that I was being "personal" and "unprofessional" in our discussion. Disagreeable-- certainly- I'll plead guilty to that. I disagreed with some of what you were saying . Still do, but you already know that. Would you please point out some examples of my "unprofessionalism" to me? If so, I would certainly then like to apologize. Seriously. |
Never Got Unprofessional
Jurassic Referee:
You recently asked, "Would you please point out some examples of my "unprofessionalism" to me?" Your posts on this thread never reached the point of being unprofessional, as many other threads and posts by other Forum members have become over the past year or so that I've been a member of this Forum. To quote myself, "I have been often "turned off" when some members get too personal, sometimes leading to unprofessional remarks, and at some point in this thread, I thought we were heading in that direction." Please note that I said "we" which includes me possibly becoming unprofessional. Some of your statements that led me to believe that this was becoming a personal matter between you and me and not a matter for all Forum members include: "Left out a few things, didn't you?" "Here's the complete article, Bill, minus the...uh...editing". I know that I was being too senstive on this, but I thought that you may have been implying that I purposely left out parts of my handout to benefit my point of view. Unfortunately, I didn't know the source of the handout, but I do know that I didn't edit it in any way. I really didn't appreciate the "uh" in your statement, but again, maybe I was being too sensitive. "Again, forget about 3-seconds" In this case I took the time to type out a specific play where the concept of advantage disadvantage may have been used on a violation. I was upset that you seemed to just ignore my example. I would have preferred that you responded to that specific play in some way, other than just seeming to ignore me like I was some kind of uninformed coach or uniformed fan using this Official Forum website. "Yeah, kinda looks like he's ducking asking that question". "Why are you ducking answering it?" "Billy, you're the one making the statements. It's up to you to back them up with". Again, I'm sure that I was too sensitive about this but I thought that since your statements came first that you should have backed up your statements before I tried to back up mine.The word "duck" implies that I was evading the question, a negative conatation in my mind, when I was simply waiting for you to answer first. But I also used the word "ducking", so I'm as much at fault as you. That's why I said "we". In this case it was me who may have been becoming unprofessional. No apology neccessary. Again, I will continue to look forward to your threads and posts. |

It does not matter whether one is a member of IAABO or not. The Tower Philosophy applies to fouls and fouls only, not to violations. I do not know of any IAABO Board Interpreter or IAABO publication that advocates applying the Tower Philosophy to violations, considereing the fact the Oswald Tower was a member of IAABO if my memory is correct.
