Is it my duty as a fellow umpire?

I don't know how things are in your neighborhood, but in some places, baseball umpires don't think softball umpires are real umpires. (if you don't believe me, go peruse the baseball board) If this is the case in your area, just leave it alone.....

That's okay, 'cause I don't believe anyone who needs to point is much of an umpire. For that matter, let's talk about the "dead" ball hyprocy in baseball. Quite a few, including instructors at high levels, mock softball and any umpire that rules a ball dead, yet the baseball rules routinely refer to a ball being "alive". Hmmmm.......we cannot have a dead ball, but they can have one that is alive.
