You're becoming one of the worst offenders of that which you decry.

I only asked for professional demeanor. If a member asks for help and all you can do is insult him or her for not knowing the answer that is sad. I remind you that since my return to this forum, I have continuously tried to be pleasant and professional. If I post a rule interp or relate personal experience, I was met with comments like, "When you have a thousand posts you will be more believable." or "Get off your high horse." I can't imagine that any of you would have the courage to insult another umpire from your association for asking an honest question. Is it too much to ask for you to be civil?
