Yep. It's just that this particular post didn't sound like a wise old mentor making a sagacious comment. It sounded like an irritated teenager. I freely admit that I might be wrong, &c.

Bitterly complaining about scoring and officiating is a perennial feature of CD, at least in the four seasons I've been reading it. Remember the near-hysterical criticism of scoring mistakes and 30-point penalties in 2005? I need to go dig up some quotes from those old threads to help people put Overdrive in perspective.
