If you were part of that e-mail list, you wouldn't hold such a kind opinion.
He invited me to join along with a couple other softball umpires. Carl and his protective little minions, wasted no time or effort in making personal attacks on anyone citing anything which didn't fall directly into line with what he wants to be a fact.
It didn't make any difference that you were simply comparing the rules of the two games or just offering an opinion, Carl publicly treated everyone not in line with his world with absolute disdain and made every effort to demean the individual.
He never missed an opportunity to make a disparaging remark about the game of softball and those involved. I invited him to more than one Major SP National to see exactly how unathletic the players were only to be ignored.
