I have a great respect for the personal e-mails you have sent me regarding questions that I have asked and from your responses that I have learned from on this board. In general, my comments were never directed at you. I'll leave it at that.
Your comment about "a balk they never saw" is a red-herring. There was never any disagreement about what the move was. We all agreed on what happened, but disagreed on the interpretation.
You did not answer my question, though I could have phrased it better. I asked you "What do I think about about simulating a pitching motion and intent?" I thought it was clear that I was asking you opinion of those two things based on the situation we were talking about. Your response "I think they are inseparable. If I believe he is simulating a pitch then I must believe it is intentional."
The only problem is that you didn't give your answer in regards to the situation we have been discussing. You obviously thought you could respond with a nonresponse and I would buy it. I am sorry, but you were wrong. I asked for your opinion and you didn't give it in regards to the situation.

Once again witht the mind reading act. You asked a question I answered it. What could be more simple. Maybe if I used one sentence instead of two? How about this: "Anytime I believe a pitcher simulates his motion, I also believe it is intentional." Does that make it easier for you. Your post separated the question from the orignal discussion. Now you say you wanted me to connect it back? Good grief.
This must be the first diagreement you won. You are so wrapped up in being right you can't see what others are saying. I said I was wrong at leat three times. What more do you want from me? I'm not your wife.
My bride of 31 years and I also have a tradition. Any time we argue, which is extremely rare. We end it with a mutal apology for wasting our time together over something trival. No gloating. No humbling. I try to carry that over in other areas of my life. I try to be humble on the losing end and admit I was wrong, as I did here. I also try not to act as you are when I am on the winning end.
For your information, when Dave Hensley emailed Jim Evans' response to me, his first inclination was to not post it here. I encouraged him to post it. I thought it was important to end this silly debate even if I was wrong.
So please, K, take your mind reading act elsewhere. You're not very good at it.
