Is someone coming through the computer screen and kick my ***? Is someone going to do more than just run their mouth? What is going to happen but chatter on a discussion board? I have been here for years and not one time has anything I said affected me personally in real life in a negative way. I have never had one person approach me and say anything negative about my posts. They might laugh at how people react; I have yet to meet someone that is emotionally affected by what we talk about here. I guess if I respond that I have be in constant pain over what is said. Windy lives right around my area and all he has done is run his mouth. He has never emailed me, what he thinks of me did not affect my umpiring. Nothing this year was different because he started running his mouth. I was still called to work baseball all summer long and did what I do every year, turn most of it down. So if I am such a bad umpire and official and those word affect me, it surely has not prevented my schedules from growing.

I'm just wondering, since you know that anything you say, WCB will disagree with, and vice versa, once you've made your point, and the others have made theirs, is it finally a question of who has the last word?

I ignore a lot of WCB posts and others. But I will never shy away from a topic that I find interesting or have an opinion on. I do not care who is posting their opinions. But there are many here that will always use my name when I could give a damn about the topic. If that makes them happy, I hope they continue. But when I officiate a game, I can never reference this board and the people on it a get more credibility as a result. And since WCB lives in my area, I can never reference him or his organization and gain more credibility from it. So if someone thinks all this back and forth means anything, I guess not much is going on in their life. At best this is reality TV behind a computer. Great for entertainment purposes, but I am not personally affected if someone is kicked off the island.
Peace
