Exactly. The idea is to be permitted to wise off without being criticized for it.

Though if there weren't something wrong with it, nobody would try to disown it.

Whatever you guys say. I was meaning "Sorry if I sound like a smart azz, because I'm not meaning to be one". I was seriously asking him if he had a rule book where he could look it up.

Carry on with the righteous indignation.

If you are going to make those comments, be right. You were not right about the terminology the rulebook uses.

It does not bother me, just if you are going to be a smart azz, be right when you are being one.

Peace

Dude - there is no indignation at all, righteous or otherwise. Get used to people being smart-a$$es on this forum. It happens all the time - especially with M&MGuy around!! You just don't have to apologize for it!

Hey, I'm righteously indignant! How the heck did I get dragged into this?!?

Well, ok, now that I'm here...

Johnny has shown to be an official in the past, so zm's question is a fair one. Now, if this was a new poster, or someone who said they were a parent or spectator, or even a coach ( ), then I can see the question being a little on the smart-a$$ side. But I think it's a fair question to ask if someone who is supposedly an official asks a fundamental question.

Ok, I'm done being a smart-a$$. (Until the next time...)

Like "is it a travel to lift up your pivot foot?"

I am indignant that you told me to "shut up"?

It was a good question, which is why no one had to apologize for being a smart-a$$...but even if he was trying to just be a smart-a$$, why apologize for it???
