I hope 2006 is kinder to you.
I enhanced the situation because you write that you wouldn't toss a guy for something he said in the parking lot. If you weren't astute enough to recognize that it was a different situation then I know you have bigger issues. Like I said, I wasn't there and I don't question others' ejections. If you second guess those made by your friends and colleagues then my first sentence was more than obvious. The umpires around here know better.
Happy New Year.

WWTB,
I didn't "wait a day or so and start tossing insults." I had not checked the board for several days, and added my post shortly after reading your comments.
You quoted me in your post. That automatically gives me every right to respond to anything you have to say after that.
All I did was clarify what I meant by "saying something in the parking lot." I also never said that this umpire shouldn't have done what he did. I said that I wouldn't have done the same thing myself.
You are the one who felt the need to add to the original situation you posted. I was only responding to
one particular set of circumstances which made up the original situation.
Look, I don't care how much college ball you've worked. That alone doesn't make you a better umpire than anyone else. I am very good at what I do, and will not take a back seat to you, or your experience. I have many years of experience, enough to when I say something, it is a qualified comment.
It amazes me that you have the arrogance to claim to be a better umpire than me. You haven't seen me, and I haven't seen you, so since you can't speak from
first hand knowledge, it would behoove you to remain silent.
