Since you chose to engage in that behavior, I saw no need to continue to take the high road.

When I first posted here, others took my desire to be nice as a sign of weakness or inexperience. Since then, I choose to state my opinion, support it with rule or manual corroboration or offer personal experience. I don't claim to be better than anyone here nor do I delight in ridiculing those who admit mistakes in umpiring. Some on this forum write as if they have never missed a call. I happily admit that I am still learning and make mistakes, some crucial, while officiating. As for my repsonse, I will give what I get. Being nice seems to not work on this forum.
