Your intentions were honorable.

The way you delivered your message, left a lot to be desired.
On a recent thread, Would you ignore Local Rule?, the consensus seemed to be that local rules should be enforced as written without umpire's discretion. That seemed like good advice to me. I cannot see how Tank's situation at root is any different.

I honestly don't know how I would have responded to the situation Tank found himself in. I do know that I wouldn't regret the suspension, as nothing could entice me to work a second game for that league.
