Gents,

I have spent the last couple of weeks reading some of the posts out here. Often times there is some good info. Other times you wonder what in the hell people are thinking...My point is this. We are all in the same profession here. I don't understand why some of us choose to be so rude to fellow umpires. We all do things a little differently than the next guy. If you don't agree with it, there is no reason to rip him. Makes me wonder...for those of you that rip people here - are you the guys that rip you partner on the diamond to coaches, fans, etc??

Steve --

Just my opinion, but I didn't see anything rude in most of PWL's responses in this thread, and certainly not in the first reply that you objected to. He merely has a different opinion of whether to cut off part of the harness than you do.

You can continue to cut the harness; PWL can continue to not cut the harness, and the OP can decide whether to try it (if the harness is useless anyway, s/he may want to do it).
