I want names of them Tim. Really, PM them to me. I certainly have worked with all the 'top' umpires in our association, and know for a fact that they all have broken up mound conferences. The games I have worked with you, indeed you haven't.

You work games in "your way" for sure, but you don't necessarily work them "as expected in my area".

I have also received PM's from you with crazy put downs and 'threats', so it doesn't surprise me to read that others have too! I keep wondering why you have such a hard time with people calling you on your crap.

At best Tim, you are an ok high school umpire. I think most of the time you don't get grief because EVERYBODY knows how long you have been around. I don't really think it is a reflection of how good you are, because there certainly IS grumbling. I think you definitely have an inflated opinion about how good you are!
