What would you say if went to the softball forum and argued endlessly that the LBR doesn't exist in practice? I suppose you would let that go


A while back I made the mistake of lurking on the SB forum and posting what I thought were answers to rules questions...not realizing the differences (in these rules) b/w baseball and softball. I was corrected in short order!

Did I immediately throw a GD hissy fit and cry like a spoiled baby about the 'hate' on the SB board? I think not.

I apologized for posting on rules/tradition/accepted practices I knew nothing about. I overstepped and corrected myself. Hint?

Why don't you grow up a little and learn? Or hit the road....

I think I (early on) admitted the difference between the two sports and that there were obvious differences between acceptable calls. I can handle correction - it's being treated like I'm sub human because I umpire softball rather than baseball that I cannot ignore. I don't remember you being treated like a child for umpiring baseball. I do remember you apologizing for coming to the SB world but I don't remember the exact post. I certainly hope I didn't treat you like a child. I wasn't attacked for having a different opinion but for umpiring a different sport.

That was VERY grown-up sounding . . . great way to make a point.
