Not all of us have the ability to suspend or remove a poster.

I'd shoot right back at you and say that some of the members need to do a better job of just ignoring the person in question. It would make the moderating job a lot easier.

Now the spammer has revealed his true colors by adding the link he wants us to click.

But don't click on it. He collects IP addresses.

He's been here before.

I'm off to do something real umpires do on Friday nights.

Call a great game in preparation for the 31Oct opener. Life is grand.
What October 31st opener? Is this a fall league you call?

I read your posts about youth baseball umpiring. Are you suggesting that umpires who do Little League games are on a higher moral ground than those who do adult baseball?

I think his suggestion is the HE is on higher moral grounds then the rest of us.

That is the indication I got. Why people cannot do adult baseball without being stigmatized for it is an enigma to me. Do what you enjoy. No point in working kiddieball if you hate doing it. Same goes for adult elite leagues.

To me, if you umpire baseball, you are a brother in blue. I don't care if you do Kiddie ball or HS or college or whatever. If you can do the job, you have my respect and support.

Why should we have to ignore him when he comes here and summarily denegrates the membership of this forum, Bob?

Because by not doing it, it feeds into exactly what he wants you to do, it lowers you to his level, and it creates as many problems with the forum as he does.

It was clear that he was a trolll of some sort after about 5 of his posts. The other 60 or so that he made should have been skipped.

And, I apologize for using the word "you" in both this post and the one to mbryon -- I meant "the users in general", not any specific individual.

Bob, you do the best you can, and do a fine job. Some of us reinforced this guy's behavior by egging him on a bit.

I apolgize if I fanned the flames for this guy, but business did pick up considerably while he was here...LOL

Question Makes Sense Fin

Good answer KF. I foolishly thought that this Higher Quality guy might answer, and possibly answer truthfully. What caught my attention was the date he used of 10/31 that he was working then. I was curious as to if he was going to suggest he was working in the same Lg. I was hired for that starts on 10/31 also.

Since you're shooting at me, I'm inferring that I don't sufficiently ignore his posts. On the contrary, I haven't responded to one.

If you're not shooting at me, well, why shoot that comment at me? I don't control other members.

I've got plenty of folks on my ignore list. But don't you think we should distinguish between run-of-the-mill dodos that we should ignore and posters who systematically disrupt the forum to no good purpose?
