Wow, Rich!
I carefully read all of the posts there and there seems to be a prevailing opinion amongst the individuals that posted. It is that you and your partner come to their fields with a strong authoritative presence that they resent like Hell. Well, I have some news for them. When you work in a league where there's no code of decorum that the participants follow, you have to have that kind of presence on the diamond. If you don't they'll try to intimidate you and own your calls. I hope you decide to let them beat up on other umpires and tell them to stick their league where the sun don't shine!
Tim.
