I also wonder why you have a political statement in your signature. Doesn't really seem to serve any purpose other than to cause disputes that have nothing to do with officiating.

Every post..................? Did you even read what was directed my way from some? For reasons unknown, I seem to be wrong about everything. Perhaps you should frequent the baseball forum more often. The tone here is totally anything unlike the other forums. It's awful for the most part.

So am I the only one? I've seen some of these guys ride a new poster right off the forum. They call them trolls, worthless, ignorant, etc. IMO, bob let some act like Teflon. Nothing sticks to them. Other posters don't say anything because they don't want to listen to a pack of hyenas. If you would notice, I have never engaged in such practices.

I'll be honest, I've had my share of run-ins with some, but I've never, ever once fired the first shot. I put everything out in the open. You won't get PM's or emails from me complaining. Now if you would like, I can sit back, and report every post I find demeaning. Would you like to listen to me whine? I think not.

I quit umpiring a couple of years ago, but I do like to keep up with different changes and mechanics.

As for my signature line, I can't stand anything remotely associated with what the Republicans have done to this country, in well, the last 11 1/2 years. I follow politics very closely these days because I care about my welfare and future. This country doesn't need another hand puppet like Bush.

Please tell me what you really, really want, and I will try with everything I've got to make this baseball forum better than it ever was before.

Now I've exposed myself for what it's worth. If you care to do the same, I'll be right here listening. Now I don't know what goes on behind closed doors, so it would be refreshing to know for once.
