It would probably be worth his time to utilize it instead of flaming.

If he doesn't care to associate or work with him, then why in the heck does he care to respond to his posts?

For the very reason you mentioned earlier - there are a number of people that read this forum without ever responding or participating, so there is a need to help distinguish the legitimate disagreements from the stuff that's simply not right. Our job is hard enough without having someone post ideas and actions that are clearly outside the norm of what is considered good officiating, and then have others pick up on those incorrect ideas and continue them, thinking that it must be ok because someone posted it on the forum.

JR's posts come from both a passion to get it right, as well as a bit of a discussion history with ducky. It may help on your end to be a little more aware of how the posts came about, and the history involved, rather than simply stepping in and dismissing them as coming from from some old guy that doesn't get it anymore. (Well, ok, I won't argue the point about him being old. Really old. So old that...oh, never mind. ) The communication in your posts seems to say that he should be ignored because the ducky one was correct, so that will earn you some comments in your direction. Take them or leave them.
