I'm now sorry I missed the response letter.

Just reading this made me laugh...that's about all the response that Devon Fanboy deserves.

Yeah, it was the functional equivalent of, "Thanks for your interest in working for our company, insert name here, but we have gone in another direction."

With complete seriousness I ask you....what did you expect?

You came to an Officials forum and bashed officials.

And then you are surprised when people bash you back.

Not very intelligent...

And many people have said that the officials messed up. We all get that. The rest of us view it as an opportunity to learn from someone else's mistake. You view it as a travesty. Some want to get better at this craft, while others just want to gripe. You have made it clear which you are.

What were you waiting on, all of us to have a 16 year-old temper tantrum like you?

We already criticized the officials' actions in a separate thread. You just came here acting like a clown and now you're mad no one wants to join your circus.

You need to get a life, seriously.

You have to have pages set up to show 40 posts, though. We're only on page 3 on my screen.
