I'd just ignore it if someone said that to me. Just pointing out that it takes more intelligence to get that point across without dropping F-bombs. That is all. Doesn't matter whether the guy is D-1 or NBA. Decency transcends all competency levels. I wouldn't expect you to understand.

When I started officiating, I got lots of feedback. Most of it was presented in a constructive way. A few officials lacked tact in their input. For most officials, the message gets lost when the messenger is a jackass. If you think that saying "I'm going to break your F#*%ing arms" is a good way to get a point across and it works for you, congratulations on your fine communication skills.
