Yes Tim, that is exactly what is being suggested. This site was set up to cater to the snobbish "college ball" crowd, not for the "small ball", or "eager to learn and share" crowd. God forbid we post anything that does not resemble a Pulitzer Prize winning article, or even mention games which are played on diamonds whose bases are less than 90 feet apart (even though the number of officials who work small ball far outnumber college umpires.)
Tim, what you fail to recognize is that the ranks of college ball umpires are often comprised of anal retentive, stuck up, insecure individuals who have a false sense of superiority over the rest of us (and don't try to crack back and deny this, fellas. It is the gospel truth). They are very exclusionary, as it is similar to a private club. When you dare to try to put yourself on an equal footing with them, they feel the need to insult and degrade you. It's alright, it's just their nature. They can't help it, as Ma Richards said about G.H.W. Bush.
As Tee stepped on his johnson by saying, they would like it if some of us would just go away. Careful what you wish for.

The Forum exists for everybody. Everybody is free to post. Everybody is free to complain about other people's posts.
It's called freedom.
You think?
Who cares how often Tee Alan gripes about little league baseball? Who cares how often Windy misrepresents to make a point?
You've often denigrated the paid site. If you were a member, you could have read my article yesterday on this subject.
If someone is wishing you would go away, by all means do so if that rings your bell.
Otherwise, stick around.
We're not McGriff's, and we don't discourage hot debate as long as it doesn't get obscene. Bob and mick take care of that. Our webmaster has never had to erase an entire season of posts.
