Yep. I sure do. Why? What is you do when someone correctly answers one of your questions or give you an opinion you ask for or explains how things work? You argue.
You ask for help; it is given and then you argue.
This is not the sign of someone trying to learn.

You seem to be under the impression that I have an attitude problem because I discuss height and the influence it has on assignors, and claim to be capable of doing higher-level ball than what I am doing. That's not called being spoiled. That's called confidence.

Two part answer: First, when you claim to be capable of levels that you clearly, by your owns words, are not qualified for, that is delusional, not confidence.
Second, what I was referring to was your constant finding of one excuse or another as to why you aren't better, or not accepted by others or given good assignments. As I have pointed out, there are many umpires your age and your height who are excellent umpires.
Instead of whining and finding excuses, they found the time and resources to get trained and learn their craft. When they asked quetions they learned from the answers. You want an excuse for why you are what you are? Look in a mirror.
You want to prove me wrong? Try going a month without whining. Go a month without arguing against the correct answers to your questions. Go a month without demonstrating that you either can't read the rule book or don't know the meaning of words. Your question in this thread is an example. The top of the wall is beyond the front plane of the fence, the ball has left the field.
Work and save your money. Sign up for a real clinic or camp instead of spending a week working small ball for free.
That's what most of are used to seeing from the younger members of our associations. Actions, not excuses.
