Definition of an Umpire

Where's the beef?

Dave if you would understand English, re-read what you just quoted. I did not say "acting accordingly", I said "acting appropriately." And to add to that, they should be dealt with as such when needed.

Dan-
You are way too confrontational when it comes to dealing with the coaches and managers. The proof is in the pudding of your posts.

If you don't feel like I'm being too bold, what was your EJ/game ratio last season?

Good god, boy, are you on drugs?

My question to you is WHERE IS THE BEEF? What does "dealt with accordingly" mean, son? Give examples, be specific. That's the only way anyone here can help you.

My suspicion is that you think dealing "accordingly" with game participants who behave inappropriately means ejecting those participants. Your lack of willingness to listen and learn the finer points of game management, instead just throwing out general bromides about being in charge and dealing accordingly with inappropriate behavior, is probably what caused your assignor (as well as Andy Konyar, if I recall your story correctly) to suggest that you should take a year off from umpiring.

I know you're an adolescent, but you appear to remain more child than man at this point in your life, and umpiring at any serious level is an adult job. You need to gain some maturity, some significant improvement in your communicative skills, and a better balance between confidence, which is a good thing but you have more than you've earned, and humility, which is also a good thing and you have almost none.

All I'm sure of from this post is that there's no way in hell you'd ever work for me. Not if your on field attitude matches your posting attitude. You've come nowhere near the right to be "holier than thou", yet you continue to behave like a 12 year old with a chip on his shoulder.

Learn.

Then learn some more.

Then come back here and post.

My, my. Feeding the trolls doesn't ever seem to get old around here.


More's the pity.
