No, they dont need to call you by your name. It is better for us all if you dont have a chip on your shoulder and walk around making up stuff that just applies to you because you create a little belief for yourself. "Blue" is what we get called, that is our "title" ...there are enough real issues without self created crusades. Let em play ball. Do your job. Youre not the provisional governor of a small country, your officiating a game, blue.
I said that it was a "pet peeve" of mine. I didn't say I go around yelling at players or coaches or that I demand to be called by my proper name. I don't have a chip on my shoulder. I'm not even one of the a**hole umpires who belittles coaches who ask for "interference" when we know they mean "obstruction." I never said I would let being called "blue" affect my work or relationship with anyone else. I never ran for "governor of a small county."
I simply made a comment on something that irks me.
But good job taking everything out of context, blowing it up to unqualified proportions and making blatantly inaccurate assumptions.
Why don't you re-read what you posted and then tell me who has a chip on his shoulder....
