OK,
Carl:
I did not mean to evade any of your questions concerning my feelings towards rats.
It is just that with someone making the arbitrary, capricious and stupid decision to move a clearly "baseball" driven discussion to the "General" tab means I don't check in and finish some of the thoughts I had.
Since this is my last post under the "General" tab I will try to make my feelings clear.
I have never, nor will I ever, work a small diamond game. I am sure that there are some fine people that work with children and teach values, sportsmanship and fair play.
It just happens, I guess, that they never caoch in the Little League World series so we never seen them.
My distaste for rats comes from 35 years of being exposed to people who manipulate. Not one personal comment from a coach is made without them trying to accomplish a goal. If, heaven forbid, I was a coach I would do the same thing.
You asked about my comments about King Rat:
"Gosh, Tee: There is no issue. We like him, you hate him. Would you be interested in debating him on this topic?"
Carl, why would I want to talk with any rat if I am not required to . . . if that makes me a mental case (see "the rat that thinks he umpires" post -- my name for emerling) then so be it.
I think of it as understanding the species.
BTW, there is no need for you to answer this post in this theater as I will not be opening the "General" tab again.
Tee
