Maybe so, but being rude is uncalled for.

My comment was meant generically, and not directed specifically at anyone in this thread.

I have posted suggested forum (software) rules that IMO would help.

And, I did post support for the correct answer back in post #13.

To be clear:

If 2 (or more) runners are on a base and tagged, the runner entitled to the base is safe and the other runner(s) is(are) out.

If 1 runner is on a base and tagged, he's safe, unless he's been forced from the base (not applicable in this play).

None of the other rule book mastication matters.
