I said our experiences have been different. That is a true statement. That is a universal statement. Only you have experienced your life. Again, this is not a statement about the level of ball anybody works. My experience is different than my partners in the same work we work.
I have never experienced the blatant situations you describe. Never. I also never said that this makes me a better umpire. I said it makes our experiences different.
Get a grip, Steve. Not every disgareement, or difference in experience is a personal affront to you.

I am neither paranoid nor insecure in the least bit. From day 1 you have ridiculed me on the forums. Don't say I'm being paranoid, because you have been making fun of me ever since I first posted here, and wouldn't let up about it. You thought it was hysterically funny as I recall that I would even mention myself and a pro career in the same sentence, without one scintiila of knowledge of my abilities.
You threw your D-1 and pro ball experience up in my face in your post, as well as your use of CCA mechanics, as if all this was evidence of umpiring ability (BTW-it's not). I am quite certain that there was an implied "I'm better than you" inside your writing. If I'm wrong, I apologize, but I don't think I'm wrong. I think that you really do believe that you are a superior official.
