Where in this thread did I EVER tell you what to post? Au contraire, Goober, if you check back through the responses, you will find that I actually said "Post whatever the hell that you want to post." Basically, I could give a rat's azz what you post. However,
DO NOT TELL ME OR ANYONE ELSE ON THIS FORUM WHAT I OR THEY CAN OR CAN'T POST!!!!

Reading is fundamental. As exemplified by your response above, actually comprehending what you're reading is extremely more difficult, if not impossible.

How can you say "post whatever you want to post" and " DO NOT TELL ME OR ANYONE ELSE ON THIS FORUM WHAT I OR THEY CAN OR CAN'T POST" ?
I'm going to try, to the best of my ability, since you told me "Reading in fundamental......comprehending what you're reading is extremely more difficult.....", to try and decipher your response. I believe and I could be wrong, since you seem to be right, and we disagree, therefore you are right, so if A then B and if B then C therefore if A then C whichs makes only you right. Anyway, your statements are contradictions!!! and since you like to back all of your beliefs/statements with rules and information I'll back for you........to contradict is "To assert or express the opposite of (a statement)" you can't say post whatever you want except posting something I tell you you can't............I never told anyone what to post, I merely asked the question as to why you were allowed to and I wasn't, so maybe it is you that needs some reading comprehension, oh but wait, I forgot, you are right. I'm sorry for trying to prove you wrong, I merely wanted to show that jusy becuase you've been posting forever and you and others make think you are always right.......you're not!!! and that's ok but you won't except it.

That pretty much says it all right there. Your ability to comprehend what you are being told is non-existent.

Try deciphering this.......go away, troll.

Look, you're right about this. He's telling you not to tell people what they shouldn't post, while telling you what you shouldn't post. It's not the first time, and it won't be the last. You're right. He's cranky. Ok? Happy now?

Having said that, why in the world would you choose this topic as your first foray into this forum? And having done so, why would you persist in arguing it?

If you've been here as long as you say you have, then you've seen this exact type of thread go down this exact same path many times. Somebody tries to say, "Can't we all just get along?", only it comes across as, "You guys are a**holes, lighten up." Everybody else gets pissed and the thread goes down the toilet.

Here's my very humble suggestion. Delete your very first post that started this thread. That will delete the entire thread. Then start a new thread that goes something like: "Long time lurker, first time poster. Love your forum. I had a question on a backcourt situation in my game last night. . . ."

Hope you stick around, but let's get rid of this stoopid thread.

I didn't. I said: "Here's my very humble suggestion." It's what I might do in his shoes, but I won't be offended if he doesn't follow the suggestion.

I also have a suggestion for you. . .

And what, exactly, give you the right to very humbly suggest what he might or might not do?

I'm trying to come up with a joke about a Twinkie, Alberto Gonzalez and the Patriot Act, but it's not working.

It does make one wonder about that. The great thing about the Internet is you can claim to be anything or anywhere.

I'm not claiming to be anything. This post has gone the way most go here. Soemone post something, if others think it is wrong they respond in disagreement. If the original poster continues to say he/she is right and even backs it up with rules/definitions or state interps those who said he was wrong continue to tell him so. Then others chime in and start making a joke of it. So a post can go from a legit message into a thread that becomes worthless because instead of discussing the issue some choose to attack the poster. Why does who I am have anything to do with what I post? I could be Mary Struckoff for all you know, would I be right then? or do we still listen to the veterans of the discussion board?

Not necessarily.

But, in all seriousness, are you Mary Struckoff?

If you aren't, then why wouldn't people be more willing to listen to the ones that have proven their knowledge and expertise over time, as opposed to someone that just comes aboard in their first post to express a negative opinion about some of the members of this forum?

Veterans tend to be very wise in general & they provide rules knowledge/interps along with little tips that can't be found in rule books.
So ummm yeah I will always "listen" to 'em... without vets who would teach the next generation or should I say genration next

I agree with you that Vets always have something to offer. But in the world of officiating age doesn't always equal experience. There are plenty of guys who have been around a long time who have never gotten very far in officiating while others have gone a long ways in less time. So just because someone has been doing it a long time doesn't mean they know what they are talking about. Listen? Yes. Take what they give and use it in your game? Maybe. Say that because they've been doing it along time so they are always right? No.

Read situations 6 and 7 on the NFHS website and tell me if Mary is right or not.
