Recieved A GM21(Verbal Abuse of an Official)

[Rustpot 1]

Bumping each other in front of a net isn't a penalty. Two guys in front of the net, sticks crossed leaning into each other. The puck left, the guy in black threw an elbow as they were leaving. The "conversation" I posted wasn't verbatim, and it was only about 10 seconds. The captain was being civil and the box ref was taking forever so I decided to politely explain the situation, he heated it up while I just sat there which pissed him off more, he insulted me, I gave him a penalty.

I suppose the way I posted it looks like I was baiting the guy, but that's not how things go. Like I said, I didn't have a specific example in mind and just kinda made one up that's indicative of what usually happens when I give an arguing. A few quips aren't called and I usually ignore when someone is just jawing over a call, but there are cases when a player or captain just crosses that line and they get livid since they think they are allowed to just chew on you when they think a call was bad. Like a ref would ever reverse a call after a captain argues it.

The second conversation is pretty accurate to what someone I've reffed with has said. Like I said, I don't agree with it, but how do you help calm things down without letting the players see the refs not being on the same page? I calmed him while we were sorting things out at the box, and he knew he went too far but it was too late to fix anything.

Man everybody gives extreme a hard time, he's not that bad, cut him some slack. I think that thread about his last HS game just gave people a bad impression really, and now people just nitpick him. And that avatar isn't bad at all IMO. A few other members have it and no one says anything to them about it. Anyway, I'll probably get shit for that, but just my .02. Nothing personal to anyone.

will someone please give me a damn explination for how i look like a fool

You can start with your avatar...

Mine's not much better but a heck of a lot less graphic.

Did you use tape to flip the bird with a hockey glove, or a lot of practice?

This thread sucks.

Extreme gets chastised because in the month he's been here hes made about 4 posts that were worth reading.

Are we even sure he was the one that elbowed someone in front of the net or was that just someone else telling a different story?

Which seems like the going rate for a lot of people. And what happened to his little thread about leaving? I could never find it a second time.
