And Snaqs, sometimes, we have to give a damn what people infer. Perhaps not in rule enforcement, but in the grand scheme of things, simply being nice and classy makes things smoother between us and the rest of the basketball world.

It's hyperbole because you're making it say more than it does. You're reading way too much into his statements. Maybe "hysteria" would be a better word than hyperbole.

My point was, just because you infer something from what he said doesn't mean that's what he implied. It also doesn't mean others will infer it.

I tend to agree with Rut on this; people are making way too much of it. But that goes both ways. The state of player-official relations isn't going to change either way.

Call it what it is, a meaningless formality.
