A writer, not Carl, in the softball section at Officiating.com, within an article stated his opinion of volunteer versus paid umpires.

When Mr. Konyar learned, third hand I believe, of the contents he wrote an email to a third party who shared it with those at officiating.com

Carl's comments, in that light, seem justified. Carl did not make the statements that offended Konyar, nor did he insult anyone. He suggested a proper method of communication when one who is the position Konyar is in has questions or concerns.

My understanding is that Konyar was even offered a larger platform to discuss his views on the matter.

Wow. Reality really is lot more boring than the sensationalizations from third, fourth and fifth parties.

P.S. Chris: No bull to be called on. You've jumped the gun.
