Well in light of all that, let me invite the both of you to kiss my large, white buttocks! the both of you are low down sneaks and you probably suck as officials in your own sports.

I honestly figured (and still dont see) why it matters.... By saying I'm not a baseball guy, I figured that somebody would pick up that I do other sports.. I wasn't trying to trick or deceive anyone, so trying to justify the rudeness by saying I didnt identify myself doesnt make sense.

As for my capabilities at the sports I DO officiate, I always leave that to others to decide.

not sure why this has gotten so ugly fellas... no need for it.

As I read it, you threw the first shot.

If I went to the sb board and read a similar OP, I don't think I'd ask what "wow" meant, but I'd quote the OP and say something like, "I officiate BB, not SB. In BB, the call that was made was right (or wrong, if appropriate) -- is it the same in SB?"

That would get me the answer you say you want.

I didn't throw as shot at ANYONE... WHY would I come in looking for info and do that? It's not what I do.

and ok..maybe I didnt elaborate enough when I asked Rita for thoughts... but that in no way justifies the reaction of some of the people that responded.
