You know it's pretty ironic that you lecture me on respect after you ignorantly dismiss the study of Psychology, refer to my mother by the wrong title, and name yourself after a Major League umpire at the other forum.
Dead or alive, Luciano did some things that are an embarrassment to umpires today. He had plenty of opportunity to defend himself during his feuds with the great Earl Weaver. Whether he's dead or alive does not change the fact that he was terrible as an umpire. From reading two of his books, I struggle to recall him mentioning anything positive about himself as an umpire. Now I do understand that he worked at a time when umpires were a part of the show like the players, but that still doesn't excuse the unprofessional things he did IMO.
Sorry Steve but that's just my opinion. You have yours, I have mine.
By the way, I love justanotherblue's signature:

I love the old "you're on my ignore list trick" because it's an admission of defeat.
