I don't like it either. There is a big difference between making an error - even an error because the umpire doesn't know the rules - and being biased.

Your original statement is broadly stated, as if all (or most) umpires will make these kinds of calls based on bias. That is an insulting thing to say to the vast majority of umpires who call the game with integrity.

Since you state you have been an umpire for years, I'll interpret your remarks as applying to yourself only.
