Well,
Tony:
There are, like in many other activities, two types umpires:
Those that do and,
Those that don't.
We know that the interent is really only broadband grafitti.
I am sure that we have people that "dump" a lot.
I ejected 312 participants in my first 3,100 games.
Was that a large number? hard to tell. I was an elephant hunter . . . I also, admittedly, had a short fuse.
I can only offer the following answer:
I wrote a column for this webpage, "The Art of Ejection", where I give rules ("let's call them guidelines") on how to handle agreesion on the field.
I have had TWO ejections this year. I had had one in the previous five years. Was I on a short fuse? Hardly, I gave these guys lots and lots of rope.
I am careful when using the ultimate punishment.
I would give you the following answer for my posting brothers.
OLD JOKE:
My doctor told me to give uo half my sex life.
I asked him: "Which half? The half I talk about or the half I dream about."
Believe half of what you read, ignore half of what you read . . . then go back to the original half and ignore half of it.
