Lman,

My bad. I apologize. I should have known better. I'll try not to let it happen again.

I had noticed a recent change in his posts; in many of them, he actually seemed to be attempting to contribute to the discussion - rather than just name-calling and otherwise insulting people. Due to my naive and overly optimistic (hopeful??) view of human nature, I was inclined to believe that he was starting to "grow up". I only wished to encourage that trend.

Besides, I have empathy (pity??) for the poor coaches who might have to suffer through the games he alledgedly officiates (if he has, in fact, ever umpired a baseball game). How could anyone with an ounce of compassion not? Even those of you who do not hold those of us who coach in particularly high esteem. (Perhaps I misread the tone of some posts. ). If I could help him learn even ONE THING about the rules, well, then at least he would know one thing.

However, I have been shown the error of my ways. Again, my apologies to all.

JM
