If you would like to discuss umpiring, make a baseball related query.

My reading skills are quite sufficient, thank you. The original post was exactly about recently closed threads. I did not feel that it was about me, in fact, I specifically mentioned that others have chosen the lower road. I even alluded to the fact that they weren't calling me names, but because of their behavior those threads were locked.

Because I usually (sheepish grin) take a moment or two before responding and use some uncommon words, some take my views as condescending. To use a baseball analogy again, "If I can throw a 98 mile an hour fastball, it is not my concern if you can't hit it. I am not going to pitch underhand." I realize how that sounds, but that is what a couple of people have implied. I shouldn't be arrogant about my past or present schedule/accomplishments/career. B.S.! I've worked very hard and benefited from some lucky breaks along the way. I've acknowledged that I'm far from perfect and by using a nom de net, seek no accolades for what I write. My concern is for dispelling inaccurate information, assisting others with my knowledge and sharing war stories like the rest of the class.

I find it relatively amusing that it is only the same two or three members that take an issue with my baseball related opinions. The big dogs aren't even growling and that should tell them something. Sometimes, the guys that are really out there know what they are talking about.
