"Whate'er should be our Zodiac's star
We all are born to make or mar.
To each is gi'en a bag of tools
Some mentors, and a set of rules:
And each must carve, ere life has flown,
A stumbling block, or a stepping-stone"

Player safety and the almighty dollar are more important than feeding the insecurities of "manly" men watching baseball in their living rooms who get winded walking to the fridge for another beer.

I think it should be on a case by case basis, umpire discretion, like obstruction. If the runner has a way to the plate without knocking into the catcher, he should take the lane. And intent should be factored... not that I see a lot of runners like Pete Rose these days, honestly. But, what happened with Posey, the guy did not have to run him over like a freight train, he could've slid in with minimal contact. But, some collisions are gonna be unavoidable.
