What is more important: Gracious Professionalism or Safety?

It would be helpful to know what your understanding of Gracious Professionalism is and how you are tying that in with safety and judging. Perhaps you can provide an example where you see them in conflict.

You cannot act with Gracious Professionalism without being safe. If you are unsafe, GP is out the window. If someone is about to be hurt, the GP thing to do is prevent it.

Vector and sparrow, I think your discussion would be better done off line.

Thank you everyone for all the helpful advice. Safety and Gracious Professionalism are both very important, but I see now how you can be safe without jeopardizing gracious professionalism. This has been really helpful! See ya'll at the championship!
