You might like that reality, but after all this is a reality. Once again, what is the punishment from the NF if a particular official does not follow a rule to the letter? Absolutely nothing, just like what is going to happen by having this conversation. I like the passion, but that does not mean you are right.

I understand your point. I've already said that if if Btaylor's association thinks that he's doing the right thing and they don't have a problem with it, which they obviously don't, then they can both knock themselves out. I could care less. They're not advocating bending the rules; they're advocating ignoring them completely and using their own rules. Imo, that's terrible advice for officials outside their association. That's my point.
