I replied "your lack of knowledge of the rules undermined your authority" and then followed it up with "are you thinking about if what I just said deserves a second technical? go ahead, take your time."

I've matured since those days, haha.

I would have T'd you up as well. You would not like it if I stopped the game and brought a rulebook out on you to show you what you did not know. That is very unprofessional on your part.

That is my 10 cents.
