Stop Locking Threads
 

The moderators on here seriously need to stop locking threads. From the perspective of a Psychology student, when an argument gets heated it is usually best to let the people duke things out. If there is conflict it is best to let it out from under the surface, so that people can get things off their chest. Hydraulic theory of aggression states that after letting aggression out, one will be less angry and aggressive. The moderators here don't seem to understand that, but it seems to me like they don't understand a lot about anything.

Ozzy, if you keep quoting this doof, my ignore list doesn't operate very well.


I'm sure he would have learned a lot from the clinic tibear attended, however.

Another thing that I wanted to mention is can you guys please stop quoting me when there is no reason to? Ozzy and Bigump both quoted me when it wasn't necessary. It gives me the feeling that they were just doing that to show me up. Not only that, but when you do that I have no way of deleting or editing my post, because the original post is still in the quote.

And as Loserman said, his ignore list doesn't work very well if you quote me.

Edit: One more thing, the trigger behind my upset at threats being locked is the thread "Got Sent Back to the Dugout" in which there was some discussion going on about how and when to make an appeal on a pulled foot at first base. But I couldn't ask my question, because that thread is now locked.

If you have a question it's probably a good idea to start a new thread instead of raging against the machine.

Wow, C-dump and I agree on something.

Funniest thing I read today. Rated :D :D :D

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.

In what part of Canada do you work games. I'll be spending some vacation time up there this summer and I would be willing to pay to see you work...in Candian currency, of course.

OK, I'm confused. What is in Canada that would make you leave the continental US to vacation there for? It must be really great, so why would you leave it to go watch canadaump6 work a game, and pay to see it (in any currency)?

My wife and I spent our honeymoon in Victoria, Vancouver Island, BC. We return there frequently and occasionally visit Vancouver, BC and the surrounding areas. Additionally, when I visit my relatives in upstate New York, we often venture north to Toronto and stop in some good jazz clubs.

I would be willing to depart from my schedule for a day because after reading candaump6's posts I'm convinced watching him umpire would be extremely entertaining, possibly hilarious, and certainly worth the discounted currency.

Has anybody ever seen this guy and Coach Jinx in the same room?

Just wondering......

if you dont want things that you said to be posted on the internet, then do not post them. if you are going to backpedal, then more people are going to quote you solely for that reason.

I still want to know about coach jinix and his college experienace

I'd be happy to have you come watch me umpire. I live about 1 hour 30 minutes from the GTA. I have only got one game right now but in about a week the assignor will start assigning a lot more. Hopefully you can see me do a doubleheader or something to make it worth the trip. We can go for a few beers after the game as I'm 19.

I also plan on being at Cooperstown Dreams Park on the last week of July.

Edit: I don't expect any payment for inviting you to watch me umpire.

Having followed this thread, I would like to say....

1. That I am wholeheartedly in concurrence with Brian's remarks on the subject at hand,

and...

2. I'm a little disappointed in myself for not coming up with a way to say it as well as he did.

There's a great restaurant/bar with some really good beers down by the docks in Vancouver Island. Good beer, great views, food was pretty good, did I mention some really good beer?:)

Wait a minute, I haven't put my two cents worth in yet.

You can't legally close this God-forsaken thread down until SDS has his say.

Here is my query: why in the world would anybody start a thread out ranting about closing threads in the first place? What possible good could result from it? This inquiring mind wants to know.:confused: :rolleyes: :) :mad:

Has Las Vegas set odds on how long this thread stays open?

Hey all,

If I heard the story correctly, Las Vegas was going to set odds, but looked at the original post and decided the intelligence factor was on the "under" side, replies were on the "over" side. This whole thread deserves a "push".

That being said, Friday at 3:08pm EST. Almost even money!:rolleyes:

LomUmp:cool:

CDump - the purpose of posting here is to learn how to improve our umpiring skills ... both by answering questions posted by others and by asking questions about situations that happened to us - and getting/giving feedback.

The purpose of posting here is NOT to test the hydrolic theory of aggression, nor the theories of an amateur Psychology student slash bad umpire.

Fixed that for you.

I've almost convinced myself that he's doing this solely as a psych 'project' for some class he has, and in reality he's having the last laugh here. Next, he'll post as 'Coach Jinx' to test the 'aggressive' side of 'passive-aggressive' ;)

you live 1 1/2 hours from GTA, North south east or west. I'm in the GTA. I would love to ump with you see what can be done.

Thank you for your opinion.
