This must be what BigUmp56 does for a living.

I read, with some humor, the discourse about this person threatening me and that person causing this on the boards.

NO ONE controls this but me. I try to delete some of the more inane threads and dribble that from time to time populate these boards.

But, as I've said many times, these boards are an open forum. Just as we face in the REAL world.

So, for all of you that want to take 'credtit' for what I do here, got for it. Doesn't bother me.

What you really SHOULD do, is if you don't like it here, there are now more choices in the world.

Enjoy life, quit fretting over me and what I do here.

Have fun and have great games. Remember, the IS an officiating website. The FIRST of its kind in the world. Started WAY back when the internet was just beginning.

Gary.

Two more posts, then this blast from the heavenly father.

The truth of the matter is had you not conducted yourself in such an irresponsible way, there may not have been a need for all the other officiating forums. You and you alone are responsible for allowing this board to be turned into a cesspool of filth. You act as if you had nothing to do the degredation of your site. While it may be true that you don't post the defamatory remarks yourself, you are guilty by association for allowing it to happen on a forum that bears your name.

What is it you think this board contributes to officiating, Gary? Is it your intention to only put a few bucks in your pocket, or was it your intention at one time to promote the vocation. If the latter is true you are failing miserably.

I've tried to look at the board at least once a day to see what's going on since you cleaned it out. I must tell you how good it makes me feel that you have lost all posters of any real quality because you'ver allowed this board to become an embarrasment to officiating. Moderating a board and requiring registration isn't rocket science. You could have done these things and policed the board with ease. You chose instead to wash your hands of it and lets the board natural destruction run it's course.

Maybe you should just remove the baseball board all together and save the effort of having to pull decent people away from here. If you don't, eventually all you'll be left with are the trolls, and you can keep them.

Now if this is the post of sane and rational man, I must be missing something. But, I don't think so. Sounds like an out of control, control freak.

IMO, This is just more than umpiring and umpiring forums with him. More like a desperate cry for help. If this is all Tim has in his life, I feel sorry for him.

If he wants to bash me and my umpiring, I say go for it. If it makes him feel better and brightens up what is probably a very dull existence, then go ahead. The sooner you deal with your issues, the better off you'll be. Get some help. You'll be thanking yourself.

BTW-What you are doing is not normal.
