Furthermore, if you are going to exhort me to read earlier posts, please do the same. I did not write that you should have the fan removed. I wrote that you should ignore the fans. If the nongame officials want the fans to behave let them take care of it. No where did I write that you should have someone else remove them.
Please be careful to whom you address your exhortions. I try, carefully, to chose my words when I give advice to young umpires. I neither wrote nor implied that you have thrown fans out multiple times. I did however, suggest, that concerning yourself with things outside the fence is not productive in a number of ways including managing what is going on on the field and advancing beyond alphabet-soup baseball.
