Did it ever occur to you that the reason some people don't post/read other forums is because of the content of those forums?

No, Luke I didn't until I posted a link to the article a few days ago. I thought it might spark a discussion between some of us. As umpires, we've all seen OTT parents and coaches. As the baseball season is in hibernation right now, there's not much else to discuss. Personally, I enjoy hearing some of the war stories you guys tell. This article was intended to create some of those type discussions.

The things guys like you post on other forums chase people away.

How in the heck is a post about an OTT parent supposed to drive anyone away, Luke. If they don't like it, they don't have to even click on the link and open it up. All they need to do is click on that little "go" button at the bottom of the page and move on to the next thread.


If people here wanted to know about what the latest bad parent story is, they would to to your Google forum.

This was not just a common bad parent story, Luke. Did you even bother to read it or are you just trying to pile on because you think it's the best thing for you to do?


You fail to see that each forum is different, and that certain types of posts should only be made on certain forums.


Why do you feel they all need to be so different? Are you suggesting that you would support some type of segregation on these boards? We all do the same thing, Luke. We're umpires. We may not all do it the same way, but we all still umpire. That gives us a common bond, doesn't it?
