Frustrations

[NCASAUmp]

And please... Understand that I still look at this forum as a treasure trove of information and experience, one whose opinions and collective accomplishments I respect and value as a fellow umpire.

I just don't want to see new blood get exsanguinated too readily.

No. I wouldn't want to wish any life threatening medical condition on anyone, either.

Call me stupid but I had to look this word up. Then I asked my wife to explain it in English since she uses medical terminology in her work for the ND Department of Health.

I would have looked it up too, but I didn't know how to spell it.

NCASAUmp had it spelled correctly in his OP.

It's not just newbies... I've been here a long long time. There are a few veterans here who, when they disagree with you, immediately jump to assuming you're a moron or worse ... a coach. It's gotten worse and worse - to the point that I've posted WAY less than I used to.

Hal lay lu ya!!!! I've been lurking for years with a post once in a while......and my overall impression.........lots of gud info and interpretations....but also a lot of hostility and over-aggressiveness when some things are asked........a good topic to bring up for sure.....thanks for pointing it out......
