Pulled foot mechanic and timing

No, that's not what I meant. I was just trying to get across the idea that I would no longer just let my defenses down like I had in the past. I'm always going to be wary of posters and what they have to say to me and about me.

At one time, I was far too free about giving details of my personal life to people on these boards that I trusted. I was diagnosed with cancer, made the mistake of telling umpires online, and it was used against me time and again - it still is. I've had misery and death wished upon me publicly, and financial ruin upon my family. I've had people post outright lies, saying that they talked to people who know me personally, and I lied about having cancer. I continue to have posters like Osborne question and make light of my sanity, which is just tasteless considering I had a brain tumor. I mean, what if I really was having mental problems stemming from a brain tumor? How appropriate are Osborne's remarks?

I'm sure you see the delicate nature of the situation, and now have a taste of the history involved. I hope you better understood what I meant now.

I admit to blowing of steam from time to time. I admit to being strong-headed and opinionated about baseball rules and umpiring. I do not, and never will, admit that I ever deserved the level of bashing and insult that I've endured from people like Osborne.
