Vote of Confidence?

The point is you are criticizing this guy for criticizing other officials. when you were guilty of exactly the same thing.

Comment? Or y'all just gonna disappear from this thread?


This forum is better than Oprah some days.
You're leaving out a step. I say it's OK to criticize other officials. It's criticizing the criticism which is, in this case, creating the conflict.

In the old thread in question, the whole deal was about giving my partner info and allowing him to correct an erroneous GT call. In passing, I mentioned that both of us were somewhat behind where we might like to have been on the play because 17 year olds run faster than we do. (couldn't keep up with 'em then, can't now) Rut popped off about how he could keep up and what great shape he was/is in. (which actually had nothing to do with the thread and the matter at hand) I offered him the opportunity to describe where he would have positioned himself before, during, and after the play, but he was never heard from again. Go figure.

I decided not to respond because it is pointless talking to you. Why say something to someone that knows what I already think or what I already feel.

Having a discussion with you is like having a discussion with some girl I once dated about some issue we argued about 10 years ago. Not only is it not fun, but it is totally unnecessary.

Peace
