You want to pontificate.
You are not interested in opinions other than yours and those you have worked with, the rest of the world be damned.
If someone who disagrees with doesn't immediately change is his mind due to your encyclical, then the conversation should be over.
Baseball guys will never be as enlightened as the vastly superior basketball and football guys.
If you don't know someone, what he says can't possibly be worth anything.
You have worked for many, many years at exceedingly high levels and that fact alone should be sufficient for agreement with you.
And should you ever return to high levels of baseball you won't meet me because I have no chance of being there.
I get it, loud and clear.

Here is why I said you do not get it. It you do not get it because what I say or what you say is only worth what others want to use. Have you ever heard of the term, "Picking up pennies?" That means if someone gives you a dollar of information and all you pick up is a penny or two, you have learned a lot. Not everything someone says has value to you in total or that you will agree with most of what is said. You only need to pick up pennies and take away the little that works and throw out the rest. If I said nothing you agree with I am OK with that fact. I was not honestly trying to teach you anything because I am secure in my thinking and you have to learn what works for you most of all. I thought you were smart enough to realize that what I was saying applies to me. Apparently you are not what I thought you were or I gave you more credit than I should have.
Peace
