The Definition Of Integrity Has No Integrity In It

[t-rex]

Are you purporting yourself to be absent any self-esteem issues? Then why must you post to try to prove certain individuals wrong?

Your posts have become tiresome. I shall now add you to MY ignore list.

Ahhhh... much better.

I purport the opposite.

Self-esteem begins with having compassion for ourselves, understanding who we are as individuals. Then to forgive ourselves (and others) for we all are humans and we make mistakes. I am not at all absent.

Once you have accepted the premise that there is no need to be afraid of failing, that integrity is tied to honesty, your best umpiring days are in front of you.

IR challenges umpires, not their integrity, their self-esteem.

"A poster here claims..."

The "Piano Man" is definitely a poster, likely is a posuer, claims to be an umpire, but comes off like a troll.

Jimmy's well-known on the softball board, where he commonly posts bizarre rule interpretations and espouses strange mechanics, has his opinions refuted by dozens of other posts, refuses to accept that the majority might be right, then digs in his heels and defends his indefensible positions to the death.

Keep him engaged here, guys! That should keep him busy and allow him less time to post his drivel over on the other board!

Oh, wow, man. What a deep thought! So feeling sorry for yourself is the first step. Far out.

Then to forgive ourselves

Cool theology. New age. No self-esteem-robbing guilt involved. In my backward theology, you have to ask forgiveness from God or from those you've trespassed against. I think I'm switching to this new do-it-yourself model.

Good luck with that!

I had the same problem when I added this poster to my ignore list. I figured out that I wasn't signed in when I opened up my browser. You have to sign in.

BTW I was about to stop looking at this forum until I used this feature on that poster. That how bad this poster has polluted this forum.

so at what POINT does the MOD say WOW since 4/5 of the entire FORUM has IGNORED you but you STILL fill the forum with DRIVEL--that the DRIVELER is MADE to take a TIME OUT?

3/4 of EVERY THREAD is NOW IGnored posts from this GUY. WHEN will the forum END IT?

Wrong information. Mick and Bob, the moderators, do NOT have the power to ban posters. They can recommend that but the owner of the site is the only one that is able to actually get rid of annoying posters. And that doesn't stop those yoyos from registering under another name and resuming posting. Case in point--the Chinese shoe sellers and PWL/StevenTyler. We've got a clown over on the basketball forum that's on his fourth nom de net; he's been tossed under his first three.

Personally, I think that posters who mix caps and small letters and give readers headaches by doing so should be banned too.

Just trying to help
