I think you inflate this place much more than I do.

I am not telling him what to do at all. I am saying that he cannot make decisions for anyone that decides to take up officiating or umpiring. If there are people that want to umpire for the money that is up to them. WCB can do whatever he likes. But it is not his place or my place to tell others why they take up what is essentially a hobby.

Push buttons? Just another example of how many here take this place a little too seriously. If the clowns here "push my buttons,” then I really need to rethink my officiating goals. I have officiated in places that most here would never go, so I think if someone thinks I get upset over what is said here, they need to find another hobby.

Who said I was responding because it was about me? I was responding first of all because I can. I was responding because the individual is trying to suggest that no one understood his point of view, instead of just understanding that we disagreed with it. I am not alone in this. And even if I was, it is still not the point of view that everyone holds. No one can tell you why or why not you can do something. They can try, but it surely does not mean we have to agree.

Peace
