Well, you know, Tom, I just reread the thread and I'm still looking for that point.

I do not believe I was rude, I was talking to what I have been told is an experienced umpire who said she was here to learn, yet did more talking than listening.

Bull**** Mike......you seem to not be happy unless you are belittling someone.......I have known you since the rec.sports boards and McGriffs........I have called you out a few times when you have been wrong and you begrudgingly admitted your mistakes........

Personally.......I would have loved to have you as a UIC at one of my Regionals or Nationals as I know you could make me a better umpire........but I bet the guys I had were just as good............

I have always valued your insight......but you can be a bit harsh......I know I can be too at times, but you seem to go out of your way to crush new umpires on the internet.

As Wally Sparks once told me.......always stive to be better.

Joel

I am cranky as our night time lows have been around 79...........can anyone blame me.

If you say so, but then again, you want Peaches & Cream, call the John Butler Trio.

Never been a fan of Peaches & Cream, but if I were it would be Blue Bell.

Plain vanilla works for me.

I don't argue much, but when I do it is with Mike.
