Should I have tossed him?

1) I agree with the premise that if they don't care enough to have lines, I don't need to draw them

2) After a comment like that, He deserves at least a warning, and the H/C should be reminded that we only talk to him, and to keep his players, coaches, and fans under control.

3) I would S.I.U.H.A the next opportunity I had.

Drawing a line because YOU want to make a point is one thing... drawing a line at the request of a player/coach or do answer their question? No way.

I know Mike, but I was just trying to make the point that our resident troll was being a bit melodramatic in saying that any umpire deserved to be shot for measuring anything.

Gee, when Tim McClelland measured the pine tar on Brett's bat, should he have been executed? Hmmmmm...

Ah, I see. I do believe you've misused the ignore feature on this site. I have 3 people on there, and it's saved me a world of agrivation.
