The more I think about these couple of incidents, the more they bother me. I just can't seem to find the right balance, and it bugs me.

Chuck, have you talked to your assignor/evaluator/interpreter/whoever about these calls? If they have strong views on it, then do what they suggest. I would imagine that their main concern would be that the officials in their games have unanimity in their application of the rules. If this game was from a league that doesn't really have anyone responsible for official evaluation, then do what you think is best- when you are the R.
Something to talk about at your next meeting.
