Zoomie:

I assume by your name you come from that highly academic institution from Colorado Springs?

Maybe you got it wrong? Maybe the write wanted to talk about the "red face" they would be getting if they act out side of the "Official"

(Official, an adjective
2.of or pertaining to an office or position of duty, trust, or authority: official powers.
3.authorized or issued authoritatively: an official report.
4.holding office.
5.appointed or authorized to act in a designated capacity: an official representative.
6.(of an activity or event) intended for the notice of the public and performed or held on behalf of officials or of an organization; formal: the official opening of a store.)

Relax and get a life.
