Wish I had a dime for every time I heard that.

I happen to know the the true identity of UES and he aint no troll.

UES did present himself as a troll by coming out of the blue and giving Steve a hard time. He even admitted to wanting to "f" with Steve a bit. Then to suddenly change his mind and call Steve "a good guy" and state that he won't be coming here anymore just sounds a bit weird. I'm guilty of trolling as well, although I try not to belittle other posters when I do so. I think UES realizes that his comments were in bad taste, which is why he deleted them.

. Alright I take that as a friendly challenge. Shoot me a PM sometime and see if you can stump me on a rules question.
TussAgee, I agree with most of what you say, except for the statement that our opinions don't matter at this point in our lives. As umpires and as human beings, a young person's opinion does matter, so long as it is based on reasonable grounds and isn't being presented in a disrespectful fashion. One thing I have found through my studies in Psychology is that if a theory or concept can be imagined, it can be defended. Who is to say that any one theory is better than another? Theories come and theories go, and society is very unlikely to reach agreement on one concept for an extended length of time. That being said, this is the perfect place for us to throw ideas out there, to test our beliefs and to see if they can be challenged by alternate hypotheses.
Needless to say I am a very opinionated person, and that's not likely to change. At times I do find it hard to keep my opinion to myself. Maybe this just isn't the place where a 19 year old's beliefs are accepted, but I think we would all benefit from keeping our minds open to everyone's opinions, regardless of age.
