Windy,
These are your words, not mine. You've now said what we all were saying at the begining.
By stating that unless the play is altered, there is no obstruction, implys that if the play is altered, there is obstruction. You can't have it both ways.
Your post containing the insult regarding my family lineage would get your @$$ kicked if you said it to me personally. Both of my parents died tragicly in the last couple of years. To me, that was one h@11 of a low blow.
You can call me what you want to, but leave my family out of it!
If your any kind of man, you'll apologize.
Tim.

Once again,your reading skills befuddle me. I used that phrase to illustrate the futility of what you kept saying. You are on record at both sites that if the fielder says back it is obstruction. I have given you several ways that controvert your assertion. Namely, if you can't see it, you can't call it. Next in line; the very words are not enough, thus you are mistaken. Lastly, I offered the fact that similar plays allow for trickery and verbal obstruction (the fake pick off) yet this one is missing from all Case and Rule Books for the past decade.
I will apologize when it is appropriate. You came here throwing stones and live in a glass house. Others can read your displays of gentility on the other site. Even here, most know that you plow ahead without the couth required. I never questioned your lineage, but made a sarcastic point that the two of you use the same writing style - errors included. If you think that is a shot at your parents, then I'd hate to see how you react to criticism on the field. We've all lost loved ones, parents included. I've never met a person that didn't find their parents' demise tragic. I have never brought mine into a conversation, no matter how badly I was being humbled. I miss mine as well, but find your display sadly misguided.
As I've stated before, I tried to remain above the fray. When those below insist on throwing muck, they are met with a maelstrom. If you want to argue the validity of the play, I will be happy to entertain your thoughts. Until then, I will await a more subtle display of false machismo.
