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.[/B]

You are saying you never thought certain people don't post on McGriff's board because of all the fighting? You never noticed that eteamz was the LL crowd? You never noticed the NFHS forum is for NF rules?

Some people don't like want to put up with everything that goes on at McGriff's, so they don't post there. Some people don't want to put up with all the crap at eteamz so they don't post there. People don't know NF rules because their state used the OBR don't post on the NF forum.

If you didn't realize that each forum is different, then how do you decide in which forum to start a thread? Ohh that's right, you just post the thread in every forum you know of.

No one wants to waste their time reading about stuff they don't care about. 60ft LL questions are not interesting to almost all people on this forum. I am sure people who work only 60ft LL don't want to read NF & NCAA questions.

As TBBlue has said, no one has a problem with him working LL. TBBlue even posts on a private forum along with many of the people from this and other forums who do not like you, and nothing has ever been said to him. If he has a question about LL, then he knows the best place for that is eteamz. When he posts here he doesn't bring a LL mentality. He is just another poster.

And no, everyone does not have a common bond. Many little league umpires are also coaches. They are half rat, half umpire, and that shows through if you watch they way they conduct themselves. Also, many LL umpires are happy working a very low level of baseball and have no aspirations to get better and move up to higher level games.
