I am reminded of a game ending balk during an NCAA Super Regional that had this forum aghast a few years ago. If you choose to subscribe to the belief that our bad calls don't matter, so be it. Armando Galarraga probably feels different than you do. I know that Jim Joyce does.
I assure you that your attempt to give me an *** chewing post-game would not end well for you. I appreciate the levity though.
Being a perfect umpire, you shouldn't have to worry about others like me who use discretion making your life tougher. I wish you well.

Point 1: You've been umpiring longer than I have been alive, yet I have done games with far more import than yours.
Point 2: It must be nice to be so delusional to misread any criticism that anyone says. I never said "calls don't matter."
Point 3: That game-ending balk did not have this forum aghast.
