WWTB,

I don't know what pictures you are refering to, unless you mean the chest protector. Big deal. Oh, I'm real scared. Come get me. That's just weak, man.

This was another example of your flowery prose imitating good writing. I hadn't said anything insulting to you lately, so why did you decide to bag on me? You ARE condescending, I didn't just make that up. It wasn't meant as an insult, just telling it like it is.

Oh, I'm a one trick pony. You are so full of it. I started this thread with a serious question. It was answered a long time ago. I don't argue just to argue, as it is OBVIOUS that you do. I argue only when I feel I'm right, and someone else is wrong. I don't parrot what BigUmp says, in fact I just got through posting a disagreement with him. I even agreed with you in an argument he was having with you, remember? I like Tim personally, and we IM each other, but we often disagree on things. But the difference is, unlike you, we can argue points without stooping to slamming each other. You don't seem to be able to have a conversation without putting something or someone down.

I only wanted to clarify your experience when I asked you about it, since you had said you had 35 years. Surely, you can understand the curiosity, when you then said 25. Now it's 28. Is that your final answer?

Once again I will say, working college games doesn't make someone a great umpire. You keep telling us all about your college experience. I know many umpires who shouldn't work JV Hopscotch games, who get assigned Division 1. Like I said before, you are probably a GREAT umpire, but just because you work college ball doesn't automatically make you one.
