Jurassic Referee ???

Last post was Thursday, May 12, 2011. I hope that he's on a beach somewhere drinking an adult beverage with an umbrella in it? The last time he took a break from the Forum he came back as the kinder and gentler Jurassic Referee. I wonder what the transformation will be like this time.

You are correct. JR has been conspicous by his absence. I know I haven't been posting alot lately myself because of the baseball season, but I have been lurking (usually wearig a trench coat, ).

It appears that JR got upset in an exchange with another person on this site (and the final exchange was not even on this site) and made a reference to not seeing the point of being here or any similar place. I think it is that simple. At the end of the day some take this place too seriously (look at my FB posting ) and cannot disagree or take a conflict in stride.

Peace

It's not like we need someone who calls everyone who disagrees with him an idiot or some similar insult. That approach rarely convinces the other side to see their point.

In the case of Jurassic Referee, I'm willing to overlook some of his indiscretions because he more than makes up for it with his knowledge and experience.

Without a doubt, he's taught me more about the rules of basketball and I've never had a direct conversation with him.

Billy Mac -

You should be fined for bringing up the group Player on this site !!!!!!

I can only hope that you were not singing this to Mrs. Billy Mac back in the

day when you would get on her bad side !!!!!!!!


I bet you still have an 8 track tape of this that you play in your El Dorado

up in Connecticut !!!!!!!!

Just keeping it real as the young people say. But I like JR I just thinks he gets to hot and bothered sometimes. But it does appear based on some comments that is what set him off (so to speak).

Not being privy to what happened off the board (FB or elsewhere), I really can't answer to that. I'm not saying he doesn't get out of hand or over the top sometimes, but I can't really judge him for that (neither can most of us) because I have a tendency to do the same thing.

Rather than making guesses and assumptions, I went to the source...he is busy with a lot of things. Got tired of having to say the same thing to the same people over and over (rule-wise) because they just don't get it, and decided to just take a break from the forum. Not mad at anyone...not bothered by any exchange here or elsewhere. Just has better things to do with his time right now.

I saw that he was logged in today!! Perhaps to check your PM... if you happen to chat with him, let him know he needs to get back in here & get the accountability factor back up!!
There used to be a time when you couldn't come in here making up rules & not get smacked around for doing so. Him smacking me around made me start reading a rule per day.

If you're talking about FED rules, you should have been done in ten days.

Seriously how is that much different than what I said? He made that very clear in a comment he made on another site. Whether he is mad or not who knows really. But it was clear that he got perturbed with a discussion and he has not been back since.
