Where the heck did all these advocates for extending our ears beyond the fence come from?!?!?!

Unless there is violence being threatened (which includes the early post about parents approaching him after a game), ignore it all. I agree that once that line is crossed, you should get either field admin or the police (as appropriate) involved... but you guys are really pushing the envelope on what an umpire should deal with. In my experience, opening up the rabbit ears makes it WORSE, not better.
