If, in your mind, this vote was crucial to determine whether you could work with those umpires, then you did not need to ask the opinion of others. Your mind was set on a path. Why was this situation different than the others on which you were outvoted over the past 30 years?

DG: I asked "the opinion of others" after the fact. I've discovered that most of the posters thought the Board was wrong and that many agreed with my resignation.
But I can't help you if you don't see the distinction between this lost vote and my previous lost vote, when the Board decided not to increase the training hours required of rookie umpires.

I agree, the Board was wrong, and it was a 5-4 vote, so there were 4 who agreed. I don't agree with the resignation, as I stated earlier. This leaves you out of future discussions and votes. I also don't see why you would want to remain as rules interpreter for an association that has 5 Board members you don't agree with.
