I have never once complained that a post I made was deleted or edited. I have requested consistency from you in handling those who have nothing to offer other than belittling. I have worked with you and know you would never tolerate a coach who behaved so poorly. Neither of us would want to work with a partner who insulted us at every turn. I expect all to comply with the rules.

I'm going to side with you on the post count issue, sort of. There are forum members with 200 posts whom I respect immensely. There are forum members with 10k posts whom I think are morons. More posts may help to determine whether someone is an idiot or not, but post count isn't in and of itself definitive.

As for the high horse comment; the initial one was made when you said complaints from coaches are virtually always the umpire's fault. That was deserved, IMO.

When I said it, however, it was gratuitous and I apologize.
