As far as the rest of it, imo, most of it has to do with the way the message is delivered -- it gets in the way of the message itself. And, way too much of it is designed *only* to stir the ****, not to lead to any umpire improvement. And way too much of it implies that the way things are done in your area is the way things are done everywhere.

Horse***, if there is one thing I do is question everything, there is rarely, if ever, one way to do anything. If open discussion that questions how and why we do what we do is not designed for improvement, tell me when improvement comes by doing the same thing all the time never asking why?
I've worked in ten states, I have been influenced by many different methodologies. I don't have a clic to fit in with which is obviously part of the nature of this Forum. I'm not looking for one either.
Stir it, so what? Makes for passionate dialog. What's the issue there?
I have my ideas born out of years of umpiring, some are unconventional. What works for me may not for you but if you (plural) pull your head inot your shell when new ideas come around, then expect that you will be the running on a treadmill as far as improvement is concerned.
