Were asked to set me up. Just because I don't agree with you doesn't mean I'm a moron. The only COPOUT is the way you tried to stick my own words against me and failed.

The point of the matter is . . . I DO NOT DELIBERATELY ignore the existance of a rule. I'll admit to you right here and now that I do not know all of the rules and I don't claim to. But to the best of my ability . . . I enforce them.

Your attempt to "show me up" would be pathetic even if you WOULDN'T have taken it to the extreme.

Believe what you want. I've called for six years and besides the casual out/safe bang-bang play . . . have never had any complaints on the manner in which I umpire. I think out of EXPERIENCE . . . I'll stick with what's working for me.

If the "Umpiring Gods" of this forum don't like my input . . . I'll refrain from posting. But all that I've gotten since I've been here is flack from a bunch of wannabes who claim to be superior to be simplistic views. I thought this was an OPEN forum?

I guess that's one I DID miss.
