You're not dealing with a rookie umpire here.

I didn't assume the wrong thing. My opinion is being supported board wide.
You are guilty of the very same thing you've accused me of doing. Are you not telling me how to behave and making a judgement? I may not be dealing with a rookie, but when you've walked a mile in my shoes, then you can make an informed opinion about my judgement. Until then, please do not attempt to tell me what I did or did not assume.
This umpire blew the basic tenet of officiating. I will not allow you to destroy another thread with an ill informed post. You can have the last word here...it seems that most everyone else acknowledges that competent umpires don't require the assistance of the contestants to make the correct call. That is not judgemental, the truth stings only when there is an open wound. Go ahead and display that amzing wit for the world to see.
