I've recently started to read the forum and I notice that many of your posts seem designed to bash (or at least to complain about) the officials.

That's not the purpose of this forum (well, all these forums). MOST of us come here to talk about situations (real ones), rules, mechanics, heck --- even equipment sometimes --- with the goal of becoming better officials.

I'd ask you to keep your comments / questions in that vein.

Not posting this to start an argument or make you angry. Honestly posting this in hopes it helps. I see you on the precipice of trolldom and I'm hoping this causes you to turn rather than jump.

(And, yes, I borrowed much of this from a similar post made by someone else on the baseball forum. And, yes, I'm somewhat familiar with your posts from the nfhs site.)
