But I don't think that rises (descends?) to the level of a 'crutch' as a general category. Some use them, some don't, some well, some poorly. To each his own. My suggestion is to save your condescension for something that matters ;)
A little over sensitive here , are we?

Usually "To each his own," is not follwed up with a condesending suggestion either.

If you can't learn to use an indicator you probably shouldn't be behind to the plate trying to judge if that curve ball just hit the outside corner or not.

Sorry, not tracking any further objectionable comment on my part. I just don't think that umpires who choose not to use an indicator are automatically superior to those who do; but you would certainly think so from the tone of many of the 'nots' :D

Some carry on like they just broke a two-decade coke habit or something.....brings to mind the old saw 'there's nothing as virtuous as a reformed whore.' :D

Your absolutely right, and if my use of "crutch" came across as arrogant, then I aboslutely made a bad choice in words.
