I completely agree with you. I wouldn't expect anything to change on this board and the good far outweighs the bad. We are fortunate that there is rarely a need for a moderator to pull posts or deal with any flame wars. It could be A LOT worse, for sure.

I have an uncle who irritates me with his politics, offends me with his humor and can generally be a pain. I still invite him to dinner.

Does he try to "tickle" you?

I liken it to a corner saloon where you have all types of patrons whose banter is fueled by drink, in our case anonymity, who freely express their views.

Liken? Hey. I only post on the Forum after I've had a few glasses of wine, or a six pack, or a few stiff drinks. You think that I would post while I was sober?

I do miss Jurassic, who was always the voice of common sense to me and had a lot to offer officials on any level.

He's still around:

Basketballrefs.com - View Profile: JurassicReferee

Classic line on his profile page: "JurassicReferee has not made any friends yet."

Gentlemen, please stop these. My Rosetta Stone Latin free trial edition has not yet arrived (not that it would be particularly useful for these phrases).

Maybe umpref intended his post for the baseball forum. 😉

I gave up on that forum long ago! 😉
