I don't have a politically correct bone in my body. There is a definite difference between PC and condescension.

I find it difficult to believe that someone who has 77 posts in ANY of these forums would not quickly realize that he's "in" on the "joke".

Also, umpiring and positive public relations do not go together ! We are universally reviled. Part of the deal.

Condescending ? Here ? Heaven forfend !!!!
