As I said, I wasn't accusing you or anyone of misleading posters. Obviously, since I disagree with some posters, I believe some of them are mistaken.
When it comes to advice of how to handle situations like yours (and those are the ones I am addressing, not any of the hypotheticals posed by others) I am merely suggesting that you seek out those you know who have really worked that level and succeeded and who you know are neither "liars" nor "in denial".
The boards are full of "NCAA Umpires". Everyone, including me, who works Div 1 games sooner or later refers to himself that ways.
However, there are damn few REAL Div 1 conference NCAA umpires. Even fewer regional, super regional and CWS umpires and only two who have served as National Coordinator of NCAA Umpires.
When you get to know those who work at this level, you learn they are not liars and they are not in denial. (Yes, I know these were not your words)
And, trust me, Jon Bible, despite the reference someone made earlier regarding his sincere and deep faith, is not a scoundrel. That he has been accused of such is a travesty.
(Actually, I believe the correct quote is "Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel."
Lastly any history that his holiness feels he has with me is irrelevant. I don't know him or his work. He does not know me or my work. What we think we know of each other is based on what we see on these pages. And that's been insufficient for me to make any final judgements.
It would be inappropriate for your issue to become clouded by any personal issue his holiness may have with me. Additionally, I am a firm supporter of official forum's policy regarding the inappropriateness of personal attacks on this board.
This will be my final post in this matter.
Good luck with your career.
