I'm merely walking that talk.
That's when you made it about morals. Notice you didn't say "I'm doing what's correct" (vs. what is incorrect). You said "I'm doing what's right" (vs. what is wrong, ie calling out blue or red)

That's okay. You keep playing your semantics games. We all know what you mean.

Wow, and they say that I'm splitting hairs.

Right, correct, tomato, tomahto. You, sir, made it about morals.

And asdf, YOU are right. This is too much. I'm done with it.

Actually, I said a long time ago in this thread that I see no right or wrong about it. It's actually not that big of a deal. I take no issue with any official doing it either way. If you want to say purple, I say go for it. If Snaqs wants to say blue, I say more power to him.

What I do take issue with is morally superior officials (like you) who want to make a point of telling other officials who choose to do something like this a certain way that they're doing something wrong.
