Dear Pat,

I also respect WW's well thought out posts. I also believe that in some situations he could have been "censored" by the Forum Police. I beg to differ in this case, as nowhere do I see him call anyone a "LIAR". He might have alluded to a poster not being part of the "thinking" family of umpires. Personally, I think he and others lead themselves open to attack when they make vows not to respond to certain posts by other members. If that person makes what is perceived to be a valid umpiring point, I think it should be subject to view and comment by all. If WW perceives it to be predominantly a personal attack that is when he should exercise his vow and not post at all. Jim/NY
