I am going to be brutally blunt for a moment, but I say this as advice and not condescending. Grow up. You are an adult, act like it. Treat others as you want to be treated. If you can't control your emotions, don't play the game. Set the example for others. That is leadership.
Funny thing about being an umpire, people all across the area that I live know that I am an umpire. Even people I don't know, know that I am an official, and they expect me to be even keeled when I am on the baseball field and off.
