Settled? Not....
Cheers to Mr. Konyar for taking the high road and being gracious.
Jeers to Mr. Childress for not taking responsibility (don't look at me...it was the writer's words, not mine). Glad he's not my UIC. (What do you want from me...he made the call)
Double Jeers to Mr. Campagna for ducking the issue entirely.
Since my path as an umpire probably won't stray much past the local arena, I probably won't have to work with either of these two people. Which is good... as I would decline, given the opportunity.
It's called integrity. Mr. Konyar has loads of it, and I look forward to working with him one day and am very proud to be a participant of his organization.
Tim:
I have no quarrel with you, and you have stated your opinion backed with experiences and information. You have helped me both through this forum and direction to available resources. (You, personally, kicked the rulebook out of my back pocket, figuratively speaking, of course!). Being up front and honest gains respect. Being evasive and arrogant does not. As someone who is still very much learning, there is no way I would even want to begin "battling" you, and I am not willing to even try to change your opinion.
Also, given the opportunity, I would welcome the chance to work with you, as it would be an opportunity to learn.
