So you're guessing. I repeat: given what he said, it's unreasonable to assert what Meacham did.

I agree with the latter, but the former doesn't follow. I believe racist language includes language "smacking of a racial tone."

Time for this thread to be locked. It's off-topic and has gone beyond the three page maximum.

    1. I have not heard tell of the demise of the moderator, nor his placing you in charge of the locking of the threads at this time.

    2. The thread is very "on-topic." I just read through the posts and they are all still dealing with the suspension of Mike Winters, which has many facets, many new developments, and has not yet run its course.

    3. The three page maximum only applies to your threads

1) How is it off topic? It deals with how an umpire should (or shouldn't) act, how MLB is different from amateur ball and what an appropriate penalty is.

2) What "three page maximum?"

I do agree that it's getting a bit repetitive, though.

Besides, I haven't posted and asked the question........
