You've got that issue on multiple sports on multiple forums. So maybe it's not the rest of the world.

Not really. There may be the occasional thread where I'm a little over the top, but sometimes they're learning experiences. Most of my arguments are based in logical thinking or reading the rule as written and applying it myself. In the case of the Luke Kuechly ejection I was correct, unlike the majority of responses on this board. Please don't act like I'm always taking the wrong side blindly.

And that's when you get the fanboy designation. When you come to an officiating site and argue a JUDGMENT call (ie: UCLA/SMU) for the sole purpose of arguing, don't expect positive feedback. You go A LOT over the top whenever the majority of the opinions are opposite of what you believe to be true; that holds true especially in the football forum.

My argument in that case was based on what I observed and applying the rule as written to those observations. I wasn't over the top at all in that thread. Merely a difference of opinion.

How about the thread for the Arizona v Wisconsin game in which you questioned what a crew discusses at halftime and stated that there were way more fouls called in the second half than the first half. When I provided the actual numbers (20 & 23) that proved you to be a liar, your only response was "grow up."
You were shown to be dead wrong and responded like a scolded teenager instead of an adult who desires to have a rational discussion about officiating issues. Here are two words for you "good riddance."

lol. A liar? Really? It certainly seemed that way watching the game, probably because at one point 14 of Arizona's last 16 points were from the line. How about you learn how to post without making personal attacks if you don't want to be told to grow up?

I have never seen great dunkers like Micheal Jordan, Dominque Wilkins, Darryl Dawkins or those from Phi Slamma Jamma have to hang on the rim that way to stop from falling. And this dunk was not contested or had a foul being called, but those athletic players did not need to do what this kid did and somehow never were in a hospital for a dunk.

Peace

Still no acknowledgement that you were both wrong and over the top there. Two things that you keep claiming not to be on this forum.

It's true. The vast majority of my posts on here are reasonable. That some people dismiss me as a fanboy rather than engage in legitimate discussion doesn't change that fact.

What exactly is your definition of "legitimate discussion?"

When one posts their thoughts and perceptions of something, and then is shown that they are wrong based on rules, case plays, videos, etc but still keeps harping on the same thing...how is that "legitimate discussion?"

In the case of the high school game with the late T for hanging on the rim, I posted what I saw and that I didn't think it should have been called. Someone else made a point, I re-watched it and changed my position.

In the case of UCLA-SMU, it eventually became an agreement to disagree from my end, with the exception of a few personal attacks I responded to.

I'm amazed you stick around at all considering how much you get beat about the head and shoulders.

To each his own, I guess.
