no need to apologize, i totally agree. why would anybody troll around and waste somebody's time on here, an officiating forum? best place to do that would be a general forum where there are lots of teens. like i explained, if somebody insults me, and then i defend myself, i refuse to be targeted as the problem, even indirectly. regardless of what people think of my questions, as long as i'm discussing things in a regular/polite manner, the person throwing insults should be targeted, not me.

FWIW, I'd trust someone who is 35 or 40 over either of your hypothetical examples. My point had nothing to do with your post count, and everything to do with how long you've been at this site (I never mentioned post count, you did) and your statement of, "usually what happens is, you assume the OP is truthful."

You haven't been here long enough to know what "usually" happens. Again, I didn't imply you weren't being truthful, I asked what your source of information was. Your answer should have been, "the announcers."

absolutely. the older the better, that's why i'm here. not calling you guys old, just calling you over 30. i think i made a mistake posting that last part on this thread if i have no beef with you guys. didn't mean to make it sound like i did. it's just in some other threads, a few people on here have really tried to pick a fight with me, so i'm on edge and tend to be looking out for insults, when alls i'm trying to do is discuss things. that's what's great about this forum, is most of you, even when misunderstanding something, don't get all crazy and start throwing insults, whereas on another forum, i would have been flamed multiple times for what i said, even though i didn't insult anybody. so that's a huge reason why i'm here, and why i may discuss things that are possibly not really meant for this forum.
