I agree also. I'm not an umpire, but I still have a love for the game. I read this forum out of that love. "Sad" is the only word that describes what a select few are doing to this particular forum.

I can remember when McGriffs was actually a great site for all sports officials. A few ruined it for everyone and the site degenerated into uncontrolled havoc...and folded. The same is now happening here. You have a clique of 3 posters who's only real interest in posting here is raising sh!t. Hell, they've as much as admitted that. You also have a few immature sycophants that think what they're doing is cool, and try to imitate them.

Jmo, but you can mess around and have fun with each other. You can also argue like hell...and quite heatedly at times too...as long as you don't take it personal. We do it on the basketball forum all the time. Just because you disagree(maybe vehemently) with someone doesn't mean that you don't respect them. However, what these people are currently doing is completely antithetical to the aims of this forum. They show absolutely NO respect for anyone else.

What's truly unfortunate is that the posters who have the knowledge and also are willing to share that knowledge are being forced off this site. That hurts all of us...who care.
