I think the guy in the videos would be a great umpire if he could only get some quality training. He definitely has the desire.

Well stated. However, deleting doesn't seem to phase this person, as he has sent me the usual nasty, vile private message under his new, creative name (see above).

Has this "gazebo" began to take any responsibility for his actions?
Its one thing to joke around. Its another to continually attack people's dignity.
Can he tell the difference between the good and the bad parts of a relationship.
Perhaps this guy can now recognize he needs to get some help for his problem.

I don't know what is motivating this flowerchild guy to do all these nasty things. There probably is an anger component to his actions. I don't miss Garth one bit.

Since you are so opposed to "dissing", was it really necessary to "diss" someone who has been gone for over a year? Did it feel feel good to get a free cheap shot at someone who won't reply?

On the other hand, I found his insights on umpiring quite valuable. It really is a shame that he felt it necessary to leave. On the other hand, I don't miss fitump one bit.
