And you hit a home run with that statement. The problem is that respect needs to go both ways.
Look, I brought Carl 2500 miles to do a clinic. I wrote many articles for the paid part of the site. Nobody has ever had an issue with Carl's knowledge.
Similarly, as an umpire, my problems almost never are due to calls. Most often, it is due to game management situations where I allow an over-aggresive attitude to undermine my game. So, regardless of how, "good" I may be, I am remembered by many as the umpire with the attitude.
With that in mind, how do you think many percieve Carl?
