Position at home

[Ranger]

Carl,

Why do you and Jim want to talk about "attacks" with me? That is clearly not me. I do not understand and it doesn't even seem relevant. Did I say anything about a secret society?

Is this a umpire forum or not? I have consistently wanted to talk about umpiring and you guys only seem to want to pry personal information from people. If I make a post about mechanics and you want to zero in on one small statement that I made about me observing umpires you are missing the point. If I am wrong about anything substantive you can disagree. If I think this board is encouraging umpires to get their nose right down on a tag play at home I should at least mention it. You should mention it! I should not fear reprisals that belittle me because I have not given you my name.

Please stop being distracted by who I am. It is totally unimportant. Please forget anything I ever said about who I am and what I do. I am a nothing to you. At this point in time you need to trust and have some faith.

When Jim made that statement likening you to a hornets nest I thought it was a joke.

I am not your enemy. Please keep the hornets in the nest.
