Rich;
I would love to work a game with you. You sound too competent to have any major screw ups so you would love working with me.

From that perspective, sure, we would have no problems. But I just couldn't imagine moving into a new area and having a "big dog" walk on me on a field. And I've seen a lot of "big dogs" do this to "little dogs" when it was the "little dog" that knew his stuff and the big dog was just there for a long time.
Of course, the examples you gave were good ones in that anyone with basic knowledge knows that it isn't a force play just because you can tag the base rather than the runner.
Let me backtrack a bit. I'm not sure I would enjoy working in your group -- as someone who has lived in seven different states and always found a place in the better games after a short while, I don't think I'd have any problems fitting in anywhere. But it sounds like you'd rather crucify someone on a field rather than ever giving the impression that you were part of a crew that contained an umpire that screwed up.....and that's what I don't like. Or maybe that you talk about it so easily....I'm really not sure.
