I come here to talk about my games and learn from mature, experienced officials. I don't need someone like you heckling me and trying to force me to quit. I will not quit, but strive to do better with each game.

In retrospect, I withdraw my suggestion that you retire from officiating. I have 2 teen-aged sons who follow this board and I can appreciate that you represent every sort of bad example that I could not possibly imagine to caution them about. Your continued recitation of your exploits not only provides for a comic interlude but also gives my guys a point of reference to allow them to see why officials are oftentimes held in such low regard by the general population. It is ignorantly oblivious officials like you that affect the reputation of all of us. Hopefully by being exposed to the comments and suggestions proffered by the knowledgeable folks on this board you will elevate yourself from being just a bad example to become a competent official. Try humbling yourself and accept valid criticisms.
Please take to heart the advice you are getting from this community.
