You can't talk to the batter!

I don't think it's fair to expect anyone to not try and defend theselves when they are the first one that has incurred a personal assault by a member of this board.

Under normal circumstances I would agree with you on this.

I have seen dudeinblue called an idiot, a pu$$y, an a$$hole, and a moron amongst other things. I wonder if the individuals that initiate the name calling with him in this forum would actually speak to him, or anyone else for that matter, in the same way face to face.

I doubt it!

Where I come from those are fighting words.

Maybe you haven't read much from this guy. He is one of those who doesn't want to hear the truth. Good people tried to help him in the past and all he can do is call them smarta$$es and continue to whine. He wants us to all tell him that he is right and that's about it.

Mark my words, where I come from, I would be saying the same thing to his face - nose to nose!

Do you really think some of these guys give a post game critique using this language? If they did pull that kind of garbage in person, they would have a fight on their hands I'm sure. Some might say buck up and take it like a man.
I'd say if you turn the other cheek, expect to get hit harder!

Tim.

You should hear some of our post games - they get quite comical and personal! But we are all big boys and we take it in stride. I may say to my partner "What a pu$$y you were to that coach" and he may say "So what! that call at 2nd base was the worst I've seen.". We would then have a good laugh and get a bite to eat. The people that I deal with are hardened thick heads with tough skins. You can't be a sissy in this area and expect to keep umpiring.

But seriously, we have tried to help this person but he doesn't want to hear it. Even during my rant, I gave him advise and he didn't even note it. I'm done with this person, BigUmp56.
