I don't think my post made it any uglier than it already was.
Steve:

My original post stated that a MiLB umpire has reported that Davidson "is not and has not been" a member of AMLU. Since Davidson has been a minor league umpire while working his way back to the majors, I wondered how that squared with Brian's statement that "all MiLB umpires belong to the AMLU".

You do bring up an interesting point. Bob has not yet been signed on as a full time ML umpire and is still listed as an "AAA umpire working relief". Does this mean he has no access to any bargaining unit? Or, as an AAA umpire, cannot he belong to AMLU if he wishes?
