Were these your words? Let's not pretend they aren't, BigUmp56.
"No rookie umpire, or experienced umpire should have to worry about being able to quote rules to a manager. He shouldn't be on the diamond without an experienced partner. That's one of the reasons we allow conferences, so that we can put at least one more head into the mix to sort things out, away from the manager."
I'm glad you don't consider that offensive. It's just your opinion, right? "He shouldn't be on the diamond without an inexperienced partner." No, that's not offensive to thousands of umpires! Experienced umpires quote rules all of the time, they don't just call it and walk away. Most experienced umpires respect the game and tolerate the coaches. If you can't explain your call respectfully to a coach you are in worse shape than I imagined.
But, wait
theres more!
The coup de grace is that you edited your post to remove the hate filled rhetoric and omit the part that derided groups for not having the jewels to demand two umpires. No one claims that working a game by himself is fun, easy or desirable. Your arrogance is disturbing. Back it up with a more than a few years of big diamond work then Ill listen.
I dont edit my posts for spelling or grammar mistakes. I try not to ridicule others for making typos unless they do it themselves. If I make a mistake, I dont try to hide it. I noted the number of edited posts you and SDS make. You'll never get a Gold Glove with all of those errors.
You are developing a penchant for being a disruptor. Twisting the facts on multiple internet sites seems to be your dream. I can't imagine why.
