Nice post, counselor.
Actually, The Official Forum is pretty tame in comparison to what the first Internet umpiring forum became. The AMLU issue aside, the problem, as I see it, can be directly related to a few individuals who will not heed a voice of reason.
I don't know why these individuals cannot accept criticism when they make innaccurate statements. I suppose they've grown so accustomed to being the man in charge on the field that they feel they're above accountibilty here as well. It takes a man to admitt they can be wrong at times. Instead of being a man about it, there a few individuals that have grown accustomed to throwing child like tantrums when challenged.
It really is a shame we have to continue to endure the few that do this.
Tim.
