General Instructions: Generally Ignored

[BJ Moose]

I'm sure that many more "subject's eyes" were opened by that diatribe.

The Emperor obviously has NO idea what the original thread was all about..or what was the purpose of the discussion. Once the Emperor announces his OPINION, mistakenly considered by he and his minions as STONE CARVED BY GOD FACTS.. then all those who differ fall into some category reserved for sludge.

You know.. I was going to stop here.. but, jury members.. lets take a closer look!

I ACCEPT that the Emperor owns a warehouse of information and professional acceptable interpretation. For years, he has aided and guided the amateur umpire community.

But look at the current discussion of the comments to umpires. Some, myself, DH, others, have asserted that they simply indicate LEGALITY..(meaning not protestable). If the Emperor has official information that says that the comments DO NOT APPLY, then he could share that with us.. and learning would progress.

BUT NOOOOO.... The Emperor has to BEGIN his diatribe name calling, negative classification, etc. HE couldn't just state what he knows... try, "Well, Dave, I have some comments from Jim Evans that say this and that".

Things are very clear now, aren't they?

This post will of coure be DELETED because of the word, "Emperor". But Jeff.. you GOTTA ADMIT... it is funny!!
