So do the judges remember you if you are critical of their performance?

[I saw the turn and it looked a bit hesitant, I was suprised because he raised his head to look at the wall before turning and he did seem to glide too long. I would have Dq'd for that turn if i was the judge.
On what basis? Raising your head to look at the wall is not illegal but it is slow. Also gliding is o.k. AS LONG AS YOU HAVE SOME OTHER PART OF YOUR BODY MOVING INTO A TURNING POSITION FOR EXAMPLE THE HANDS. Technically speaking as long as your hands are engaged in the turning movement, including a long slow walk down to your hips, you can otherwise glide until the paint drys.
You say the tape, and I'm envious, but did his hands stop at his hips while he was gliding? If so then I'd call it too.
Again, the hesitation and then reversal is unusual and a more forthcoming explanation would make us all feel better about the process since I support the idea that officials must be supported 100% if they can clearly state the infraction.
