Don't ask us to give up on this thread!
Most of us are at our places of employment. These silly threads are a way for us to avoid doing any actual work! :)

Mel has it right.
Go ride your bike. There are many more important things than this.
Don't worry- we are working on this issue.
Just remember this- we have a limited pool of officials who put in a
lot of work. It is very frustrating for officials to encounter this
sort of behavior. Many of them do it out of the love for the sport or
because they enjoy it. Please don't make their job any harder.
It also goes both ways- we have been working with our officials to
ensure that they understand that one of their primary jobs is to help
racing enjoyable for all of you.
The sun is shining. Now get off of OBRA chat and go enjoy it.
