SanDiegoSteve JRutledge wroteYou completely missed the point of my post. And there are bigger things to get upset by when it is not true. 😉 Peace Yeah, you're right...I don't understand your point at all. What exactly are you saying?
JRutledge SanDiegoSteve wroteYeah, you're right...I don't understand your point at all. What exactly are you saying? It doesn't matter. Peace
SanDiegoSteve JRutledge wroteIt doesn't matter. Peace It matters to me. Are you saying I have no right to take umbrage to disparaging remarks concerning my personal life? That I should allow those remarks to stand without any recourse?
Adam SanDiegoSteve wroteIt matters to me. Are you saying I have no right to take umbrage to disparaging remarks concerning my personal life? That I should allow those remarks to stand without any recourse? No, he was just saying that in his opinion, the comments were so juvenile they really didn't need a response. YMMV, of course.
SanDiegoSteve Snaqwells wroteNo, he was just saying that in his opinion, the comments were so juvenile they really didn't need a response. YMMV, of course. They were indeed juvenile, and coming from a 50 year-old man sounded more like an attack on me, not to mention I find that kind of talk to be disgusting and perverted.

I took it that he was trying to be funny by calling you some sort of jock sniffer, but took it to a special kind of disgusting. In my opinion, it speaks more clearly of his level of emotional and mental development than anything else.

His comments were a disgrace, and indicative of profound cowardice and sickness. Absolutely shameful. People like that Mazza shouldn't be allowed around young people.

SethPDX Well, this thread was pretty darn good for a while. It touched on some sensitive topics and the discussions got quite spirited. For the most part, though, I thought the participants remained civil to each other. Yeah, that was fun while it lasted.
johnnyg08 Steve, you might not enjoy all of my posts, just like I don't enjoy all of your's. However, this thread has run it's course. I don't enjoy reading sexually explicit comments even if they're not your quotes. I read this forum to learn about how to be a better umpire. This thead is not teaching me any more about how I can improve. I think this could be settled via PM's or email if you choose to figure it out via the internet. Not on the semi-public forum where umpires share ideas and thoughts regarding baseball. This was a good thread, but it's run it's course. Lock it up. Feel free to have them lock the thread on me as well, if you feel that I'm hijacking a thread to settle personal attacks. I won't be offended.

Pretty easy to say since it wasn't you being referred to in that way. What would you think if he said something like that to you? I can't imagine you would just let it stand or let it slide. If he sincerely is apologetic, then I accept the apology. I just needed to remind him of exactly what he said, because he seemed to have forgotten.
