Who knows, Mr. Windy, maybe when you stop being such a detriment to the internet umpiring forums, you can take the time to write a few of your own books on umpiring.
Then, maybe people will take you seriously.
Tim.

Arrogance and Ignorance
This story paints a picture of a boy you may have known,
Whose arrogance was so intense he went off on his own.
He left his home, he left his friends, he left humanity,
He really could not tolerate their ignorance you see.
So often was he bothered by the little things in life,
And family and friends would only give him grief and strife.
" They're not so smart," said he aloud with remarkable distaste
" Their skin's too thin for them to win my favor and my grace."
In his own mind he's very kind and helpful as can be
He simply tries to tell these folks "You must be more like me..."
[The cobbler doesn't make boots right, he doesn't make them strong.
The seamstress seldom sews clothes right, she seems to sew them wrong.
The dancer's feet are made of lead, or so we're led to think.
The singer never hits her notes, Not G, nor F, nor C.]
And if they all march to the beat of a slightly different drum,
There is a problem, so you see, to him they're all so dumb.
