Other boards have lost credibility and members for those reasons. We certainly aren't there, but we are headed in that general direction with this thread. JMHO.
Good point. Might I suggest the posters delete those comments?
While this wasn't the intent of my thread, I feel like I'm getting some good input from people with experience on this subject/person. Any valuable input on this board is always a good thing, not just rules and mechanics, but other things also. I remamber a thread a few months ago about an umpire who was thinking of hanging up his mask because of the people he was calling with all the time. Kinda gave me the impression I might not be comfortable over there either.

Besides, like my daddy always said, " If it's true, don't worry about it! "

Why is it that this thread is causing so much concern, when one of the " gurus " on this board will occasionally bash and ridicule statements and people and only a few mild objections are raised about thosse comments? Don't see much difference.
