Apparently name calling is a problem here.

I thought that as officials we would be a little thicker skinned when someone was clever and derisive.

If you read my original post, I meant no disrespect to any of my cage brethren. In fact, I offered kudos for doing a tough juob very well. Go back and read it.

However, a few of you feel the need to dismiss me as "only a baseball guy". That seems a little unfair. I don't pretend to know your sport, I'm just a fan. I did not critique a technique or rule interp. I simply offered a counterpoint to the thread starter's attempt to drag an issue onto this board after it had been closed on the baseball site. I was alerted to his thread and waited to see what the responses bore out. A couple of members seemed to agree with the methodology and immediately they were dismissed and names were called. That sounds a little hypocritical. Maybe that's why Brad let it go...
