How does calling someone a moron add substance to the debate other than demeaning yours?

It's simply a matter of truth in advertising.

What debate are you referring to?

How can there be substance added to what was posted? Iow, he said he would NOT call it, but then complains that it isn't being called (didn't I already point that out?)...how can anyone add substance to that?

And demeaning my what?

After you're here a while, you understand why this guy is refered to as a moron.

1- He doesn;t know the rules.
2- He refuses to accept the rules when cited by others.
3- His philosophies are archaic and contrary to everything that's ever been published regarding officiating.

The worst thing is that his misinformation easily confuses those who don't know any beter.

Yes, he's a moron.

Wouldn't it be better and more professional to answer and move on?
Seems to me responding over and over with insults never discourages anyone from firing back.

Just trust them, jim - the choice is to either ignore OS or to make it easy to distrust what OS says so that casual/new forum readers do not take what he/she says and use it as if it was given in good faith and with sound rules backing.

I think OS is just stirring the pot and not really interested in rules-centric discussion - it is distracting and it could easily cause confusion.

It's not about being professional. It's about ensuring his answers aren't taken seriously.
That, and entertaining ourselves in the process.

My my my....

Do you honesty think officials that frequent this site are that naive? You really need to get over yourself. You don't fight fire with fire unless you want to burn everything up. The man is trying to educate you. You are trying to convince everyone to dislike me and I think they would like to make up there mind on that themselves without your help. That's what a real man does.

Isn't it unethical to discredit another official? Oh, that's right! The same rules don't apply to you, they just apply to the other guy. Hypocreit...!!!

Old School:

Tony tells it like it is. You are ignorant of the rules of basketball, PERIOD!! I have advised you many times not to post until you have taken a basketball officiating course and learned how to officiate. That way you would have some knowledge of the rules. But you do not want to learn and improve yourself so you continue to make a fool of yourself with your idiotic postings.
