I said what I did because he was harassing another poster, so I mentioned to him that TimC gives myself and other posters problems as well. Then I mentioned that he didn't know how to do the stance, which turned out to be wrong on my part. I was trying to be helpful to a new poster, and it ended up with me getting jumped by at least 5 umps on here, so frankly I'm fed up and you won't be seeing me for 2 to 4 weeks. After that I'll come back, if things don't go well I may go for longer.
Use your time wisely. And when you come back, when "trying to be helpful to a new poster", try to be RIGHT first, and make sure you're right. There's nothing worse than seeing a newcomer's post get answered incorrectly 3 times quickly before someone can answer correctly ... and then wondering if that new poster came on, got his (incorrect) answer, and went away ... then using the wrong answer on the field, and quoting "I checked it at officiating dot com, so I know I'm right".

The sad thing here is that you seem to think we'll all be upset by your absence, and threaten us with more absence if we don't behave next time. Truly scary.
