In the original question, Largeone is absolutely correct. You ejected him because he told you that your partner can't see. There is no discussion, and I would hope that every umpire here would have done what you did. You didn't eject him because it was an assistant that said it, or because he was outside of the dugout when he said it or whatever. You ejected him because you treat a personal attack on your partner as you would treat a personal attack on yourself. If he told you that you can't see, would you have ejected him? Absolutely. Therefore, you need to do the same when he directs a comment like that about your partner to you.
Good call.
