So it is some kid's fault when he takes Wiederenelenders' bad advise?

How about Rollie stops writing terrible articles. No one would notice if Officiating.com didn't put out a baseball article on a day when it was supposed to. If Wiederalnders wants to write crap, then he should not be paid for it. It makes me mad that I am actually paying to read his articles. Someone should be paying me to read anything he writes. His articles wouldn't be interesting if they contained photos of naked women. The only reason anyone reads Wiederlander's articles is so we can discuss how terrible they are.

Be so mad about Roland's articles that you stop paying and stop posting, total boycott.

DG wins this one hands down.

I am also becoming tired of the issue.

While Roland's defense of his detractors was silly.

One can only go to the same well so often.

Can we move on?

I'm with Tee and DG as well. Leave it be. You payed for the site prior to Roland coming on here. You got an article or two per week. Now that he's on here, you still get those one or two other articles a week plus his. If you like his, then you're better off, if you don't, then you're no worse off.

I am worse off. If Wiederlanders did not write, then Carl would be forced to find something to fill the void. Pretty much anything would better than Wiederlanders. When I paid for my suscription, I was paying to be able to read X number of articles a week. Wiederlanders is taking up 3 or so of those articles a week with his bad writings. So the way I see it, I lost 3 articles, instead of gained them.

Hmmm,
 

It seems that some have misinterpreted my post above:

I thought that DG meant that LDUB should stop reading or posting. (i.e. this means leave the site).

I agreed with him that this thread is silly and way boooooring! and should end.

That is my only point. I am tired of hearing of the dissatisfaction of a few posters. We only know for sure that LDUB is the only "subscriber" that is complaining about Roland's articles.

Y'all can complain all you want.

It is damn hard to write GOOD articles time-after-time when those writing are not professional authors.

You guys have great complaints, written in a sentence or a paragraph. The writers that publish here have a tough uphill battle and write for reason other than the money.

..does that hold true for umpiring as well? :D

OK,

Some will miss an obvious suggestion.
