Though all of us have different skill levels, I'd also like to assume 2 more things;
1) any official that spends their free time on this or other similar site, has the passion and desire to improve their craft.
2) those officials that you describe above, that reflect poorly on the rest of us, probably dont visit and learn from these sites...

I.E. Some of us need that "thick skin" more often, off the diamond/field/court.......

I'd definitely agree with those two assumptions, with the qualification of "if they're here and not trolling."

Trolling aside, I have no problem if someone is in it for the money. Just don't drag me down with you. Though I guess that's true for the motivations of any umpire I call with. If their motivations do not exert a positive influence in how they handle the game, then I don't want to be around them when the sh1t hits the fan.
