Carl, I felt at a disadvantage as I did not have the post to work from. I could not locate it. Would you please advise where I may review the entire post? As originally stated, I was working from memory that this was a hypothetical situation.
I think that since the paragraph you refer to starts with:
"Now let us suppose...." , then everything immediately following would and should be considered hypothetical. Therefore, I find it improper to state that "someone" said these guys were "idiot umpires" as, indeed, this statement had been taken out of context and made as if to appear to be directly stated regarding Jon Bible and others of that crew. That is why I posted as I did. I did not feel your initial post reflected the truth of situation in which those words and labels had been used. I would hope upon review you would now agree.
Additionally, in my subsequent paragraph I indicated that Peter O.'s post was in response to a previous post suggesting "equal jurisdiction". As I don't have that post either, would you care to reprint it?
I hope to salvage what I saw as an attempt to degrade Mr. Osborne to those who may have seen the original post and knowing of his words yet not recalling the exact situation. Of course, Mr.Osborne does not have the ability to defend himself on this board.
Based on what I see, my memory appears accurate. It is likely far more difficult for me as I don't have access to the posts of the thread that disappeared. It appears you have access to them or may have done some quick copying before they disappeared.
Just my opinion,
