Just like a coach to use faulty logic in a debate. I was talking about the uncaught third strike rule, which has been bantied about in these online forums FOREVER.

Check the experience level on the people posting incorrectly about rules. That is why is said that we "kinda" do, allowing for newer officials who are just learning, and the ocassional rule change that someone might not have heard about.

For the most part, we veteran umpires debate "microcosms" of the rules, discect them and study them out. There is often spirted debate and even arguing (we are umpires, after all). The problems here usually lie with certain elements who don't like what is being said and lash out with personal attacks.
