There is always going to be fighting on an internet site. Go to any discussion board and read any topic and you will see people calling names and people arguing about all kinds of stuff. The topic could be about basket weaving and someone would be upset if someone talked about the kind of needle that someone used. That will never go away.

Part of the reason you have more fighting here right now, is another well known site has cut out all the crap and have made everyone that posts show their IP address. Now all the trolls have come here and brought the fight over here. This is just apart of the culture of the internet and the culture of umpires. Umpires are some of the most anal people in all of sports officiating. So the fighting amongst baseball umpires is just par for the course. It would be nice if people focused on the sport, but that is not going to happen. Long before you got here and before I started posting, this is just the way it was.

Peace
