MTD, Sr.


P.S. Suppref, I just checked the IAABO website. Norwalk, is in Board #9, and Board #9's Intepreter/Trainer is Lou Filippetti, and Lou is a personal friend of mine, so you had better have the correct answer for the Forum.

Wow. That is so far out of line it makes me wonder what the association is doing putting the likes of this guy on a rules committee. He's actually threatening a poster on an internet forum with going to his buddy the interpreter because he doesn't like the poster's commentary? The poster "better have the correct answer" because the interpreter is a friend of his?

Nonsense such as this hurts the credibility of all of us. Getting a rule wrong is one thing; it happens and, as well all know, most officials question their own rulings as much as anyone who sees them or hears of them. But threatening retribution for an event you weren't involved in on the basis of internet forum postings is reprehensible and inexcusable.

Get a grip.

I enjoy this forum for the 3 sports I officiate. I'd like to think I'm a better official due to this forum, and want to thank those intelligent posters, including Mr DeNucci, for all their help.
Being a "glass half full" type of guy, I'm just going to believe that Mark probably regrets the "threat" comment as being a bit overboard, and move on.
The Forum Moderators are the only internet police we need here...

If you're an archangel, shouldn't you not need a forum like this one?

BTW, which archangel are you?

I wouldnt presume to put myself in that class. Has more to do with a nickname from when my sons were younger.

It's okay... you're new here.
