I assume my question isn't the reason that the thread disappeared. Did it get ugly or did we just tire of it?

No Garth, after your post, I suggested that Carl should also interview a PBUC/MiLB spokesperson to obtain a fair and nalanced interview. We have already read some of Mr. Kennedy's comments in the papers. Some of us have intimate access to the AMLU site and also perused the comments there. I figured that it would only serve to complete the picture.
Carl came back firing - I'm paraphrasing here and you know others will correct me if I'm wrong or embellish - "I suggest that you make a suggestion when you aren't anonymous any more. We know who I am. We know who Mr. Kennedy is. Who the hell are you?"
I replied that my identity was not pertinent as it had no bearing on the content of the article. Obviously Carl has read the many threads and witnessed that I knew far more about the issue than some had suspected. Most everyone here knows that I felt the union blundered and then compounded their mistake by antagonizing the very group they heralded from. We've read the propaganda and viewed the 'Scab" page. Isn't it time to hear the other side? Nah, that would mean that some anonymous umpire from the midwest knew more than the fanatic in the Lone Star state.
Jurassic Referee - not my biggest allie
- jumped in and questioned Carl about how my identity mattered. He tossed a few barbs Carl's way for good measure. Others saw Carl's folly and demanded the same. It is frightening to think that rather than acknowledge the blunder and accept the fact that we simply suggested further articles, he chose a hit and run tact. I wrote it before...I pity Carl. That glass house must be lonely.
