Hey Covey,
This website was created many years ago by my team, for the purpose of allowing the FIRST community to share their thoughts and ideas, yes even complaints are welcome (if directed in a non-personal way, with good taste, and abiding by all of our rules).
You are allowed your feelings, let everyone else post theirs too.
Your previous post was clear thet you "don't feel sorry for anyone", which is cool, no problem - but don't take it upon yourself to tell others to "give up" posting their feelings about this really stupid rule.
Yes, I agree that Jason's post makes it pretty clear that FIRST will most likely not change or clarify the rule again, but that doesn't mean that this website or thread should be closed or folks should stop posting their feelings about touching the loading zone.
Perhaps next year, if not this year, rules like this will be addressed in a different (hopefully better) way.
And, I would never question the integrity of a ref, under any circumstances - those folks volunteer their time. They are human and sometimes make mistakes - we all will need to deal with that (even more so, this year).
