Well, with all the extra money I am making doing PCL, I could afford the expense!

I will just sucker myself right on down to the bank!

Tim, I find it amazing that you are so hostile towards what I wrote. Try stepping back from your ego a bit, and read it all again.

Pdx, may your 5th post be your last!!

In closing . . .

I have said often that "crossing a picket line is not a moral or ethical decision it is a business decision." That goes for ANY picket line crossed.

By crossing a picket line a replacement umpire allows the "business" of minor league baseball to continue. Crossing any picket line (say a grocery checker line) allows that business to continue.

You need a better platform to sully anything I have said than half-baked discussions such as you are bringing to this board.

Have the cajones to contact me in person the next time we see each other . . . yeah, I didn't think you'd have the guts to do that.

Regards,

Funny, that sounds just like another person I know.

Peace

Maybe you should have read between the lines. You would have found these three veiled insults that were unnecessary. If he just wanted to state an opposing point of view he should have left out the comments about Tim's ability to write as a professional. No, he came here looking for a personal fight, and like a little girl he chooses to hide behind an Intenet alias. I have little tolerance for cowards.

Umm to call something a Blog is not a personal attack. It was giving his column a different title. A blog is not a bad thing. The rest of the commments occured after Tim attacked his integrity. He came on here and said in your ... this is my opinion. Tim overreacted to the Word Blog and made a fool of himself and attacked the poster, who then responded in kind. There a many many more qualified writers who have Blog's it is not a slam or a dig in anyway. But obviously you Tim's felt it was. Sadly you are wrong.

This jerk apparently knows Tim. That tells me that he knows Tim is a columnist. Maybe had he not put the word blog in quotation marks I would agree with you. But, for him to put that kind of emphasis on the word smacks of an insult. It would be like me asking you if you support your family with that "job" you have.

Whatever, I think if Tim was the Better person he often claims he is he would have ignored it and not looked at it like an insult. Blog's are all the rage now, and many wonderful people have them, Tim could have easily looked at it that way. But his reaction to the supposed insult is well over the top. And went much further than one should have. Even having said it is a column not a blog would have sufficed, the rest was a personal attack that was really unwarrented. Most top writers love to have people debate their writings, I think that he felt the need to respond showed equally that he respects the writing as the " " marks would show the opposite.
