"Liar" by itself, just a technical foul, no ejection (subject to an "upgrade" based on context, tone, volume, etc.).

"Thief for stealing a point", by itself, he, she, black, white, brown, gay, straight, Irish, Italian, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Native American, Indian, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, tall, short: all would be sitting on the cold bus in the parking lot.



"Apologize". Ejection? No way. It's a throw away comment, so I would simply walk away. I would walk away mad, but I would just walk away (with apologies to the Three Stooges).
