Not meaning to sound like a jerk, but to a certain extent you should get used to it. It's been going on for almost 4 years now, especially between Willson and Freix.

There is much history, both mind-bogglingly bad and unbelievably good history, among many of the regular posters to this board. Since it's been going on for almost 4 years now, I somehow doubt that your reasoned post is going to change things much. Many valiant posters have tried.

Warren & Jerry, see if this will help. Each of you make significant contribution to the enjoyment of play rulings. Thank you for that. I find the personal stuff to be a an irritating distraction. ...[snip]... Shouting people down or personal comments detracts from the learning experience. Plus,such conduct might intimidate newcomers from participating. Now, can we get together for refreshments and continue the dialogue? Warren, bring Fosters. I'm very friendly when Foster is nearby. Thanks again for all the positive stuff. Pat O'Reilly, umpire and sports researcher.ST Albans, West Virginia [email protected]
You're welcome, Pat. I don't like the personal stuff either. Frankly I find it downright boring. That's what my little buddy, the sleepy koala, is all about.

I'm honestly trying not to react, but it is very hard when the criticism is either extremely personal or entirely unwarranted and unjustified by anything but spite. I will continue to try. I left this forum for a period of around 2 years because I was tired of the personal abuse. I said I wouldn't come back until things changed. Only seeing the 1st thread posted by the moderator, indicating that personal abuse will be sharply and swiftly dealt with, lead me to return. Sadly, things don't look to have changed much.

If we could just treat each other online as we would when working together on the diamond it would be great. Given the nature of some posters, I'm afraid that dream is unlikely to be realised. That said, I would be happy to share a Fosters, or even a Cascade, with you anytime the opportunity presents. Thanks for your post, Pat.

Cheers
