Some of the arguments that I see involve just as much or even more colorful language from the umpires.

I would never suggest that any amateur umpire use any of the "seven words you can't say on radio" in any manner in any game or contest.
In the pro game, as certain videos have shown, it's accepted, if not expected. What matters is how that word is directed.

It's TV, not radio...and the list is down to six, because if I remember right, one of the words was suck. If you run anyone in 2005 because they say "that call sucked," well...
Meanwhile, those others depend totally on the context...generally, if it's preceeded by a "you," I'm locked and loaded and ready to run somebody...

Suck is not one of the seven dirty words, but is a part of one of them

You are correct. In fact, one of the regulars was kind enough to send me a .wav of Mr. Carlin.
Put a "You" in front of any of them and I have to do an ejection report.
