Volleyball anyone?

There was a college player who was suspended for not wearing a bra in a game. She turned to her teammates for help, but they refused to support her in this matter.

Or manner.

Sigh...Bob, you've been reading too many e-mail from M&M again.

Suspended for not wearing a bra, or suspended by not wearing a bra?

How gay is that, a volleyball fanboy?

Now, for the both of you: I didn't attack you

Folks, I couldn't even make this stuff up if I tried. Brilliant.

I'd hate to see what "attacking someone" would be in your world.

I didn't say YOU were ignorant. I said your STATEMENT was ignorant. I'm sorry that you can't tell the difference. Reading is fundamental, and I apologize that you weren't able to discern the difference.

I see that instead of addressing the points raised, you decide to make leaps that would make Evel Knievel jealous. Bravo to you! And the name-calling. Wow...that's just...special. Here's a hint...if you don't want people quoting what you say in a reply...don't say it. Oh, wait...that might take a little self-restraint on your part. Check that.

Your diatribe, while again being good for little more than a chuckle and a head shake, has done nothing to dispel any of the arguments presented.

Go ahead and blast away at me. I'm waiting for the scathing attack in which you misrepresent what was said, do more name calling, and pretty much add nothing to the conversation. Call me whatever you want, because as evidenced by your posting history, it's what you do well. But I probably care less about what you think of me than you think about my opinion of you.

Well, not only did you quote him out of context, you quoted him out of order. He said he "didn't attack you," not that he wasn't going to.

And you're defending yourself here against an accusation he never made in an effort to denegrate his reading skills? That's just classic.

No, he won a clown suit. Completely on merit too.

What exactly was "out of context?" What did I falsely accuse him of? Again, I addressed his statement, not him personally, and he responded with a personal attack.

The fanboy comment you quoted of him was out of context, frankly.
You defended yourself by saying "I never said you were ignorant." He didn't say you had.

It would seem to me, the less amount of action in a game, the less difficult it would be to call. I realize this is a broad generalization, but I think it has some merit.

Good point! And the amount of action and the speed of such at higher level VB games is very high... and the fact that you are standing still on a stand instead of moving closer and changing angles to process it makes for an interesting set of dynaamics as well.

Let's just end this now by agreeeing that all sports are more difficult to officiate than they appear to an outsider and that each presents it's own challenges and "sport A" might be more difficult to one person while "sport B" is more difficult to another.
