A lot of umpires that hated me as an announcer, respected me because I am an umpire and listened to complaints and question.

This is something to be truly proud of! You are using the knowledge gained by being an official to bait, ridicule, and intimidate other officials.
If I was working any type of game where you as the announcer pulled any of this crap, and I knew that you were an official also, a report would be filed to your association.
