Did coach interefere?

We seem to have gotten into a hypersensitive mode of late.

Maybe it is the recent intrusion of trolls, including the near troll who I have been intentionally (and with some difficutly since there are so many soft tosses he posts to pound back) ignoring, or maybe it is a cultural issue where American-speak doesn't translate well or NZ-speak is not read the same by Americans (or at least, in one case, by me), but whatever, lets grow thicker skin, shall we?

Little jabs here and there are not necessarily personal and not necessarily bad. I've had a few more-than-hints of sarcasm posted back at me a time or two.

Being personal is saying things like "you're an idiot."

Being sarcastic about a region's or an individual's rule interpretation is not "personal" unless your rule interpretation is who you are.

We've had all kinds of jibs and jabs back and forth about rule interpretations.

If the board search worked (gosh, that is taking a long time to fix!) I would suggest to do a search on the NFHS interpretation on a running lane violation on a base on balls. If you want sarcasm, you'll find the real thing there, not just a hint.

Can we grow up just a bit? We're starting to act like some of the little kids we call games for.
