As for the high horse comment; the initial one was made when you said complaints from coaches are virtually always the umpire's fault. That was deserved, IMO.
When I said it, however, it was gratuitous and I apologize.

I never wrote that complaints from coaches are virtually always the umpire's fault. I did note that if all an umpire sees are coaches who complain they may want to invest in some introspection. I have kicked calls and had coaches bite. I deserved the response but learned how to handle their actions. I can bite back too.
I appreciate the apology. It is accepted and I hope we can begin anew. This isn't my first rodeo and I have endured my share of lumps, just not from fellow umpires. Thank you for being civil.
