Photos are fun to discuss, they give us something more to go from in starting discussions. So, without further ado, I'd like to start a series here, the Visual Daily Double, and post photos to facilitate discussions. I recommend anyone that cares to start one like this at anytime, go right ahead. Take a look at the reply box if you don't know how to program an inline image in HTML.
So, without further ado...
Has anyone else found that it is better to argue with your mask on? While it is on, you have a psychological shield between you and the arguer, so that it personaly affects you less, causing a greater degree of discipline and objectivity. Also, when the umpire needs to make an emphatic "that's enough" statement, he can take off the mask (making it clear that he's not threatening to use it to strike the arguer) and give a more meaningful warning.
Obviously, we're not going to put the mask on just to argue, but it would be good to leave it on when its already on.
