Decorum issue
This is why I asked the question about the specifics of the rules. It struck me, as an official in other sports, as poorly handled. But before being too critical of any situation, I always want to verify the code in effect.
In the case that prompted this, I suspect the crew was as surprised as anyone at the extent of the demonstration, but made the decision to avoid possibly escalating the matter by appearing too overbearing.
Having dealt with more than a few fiascos myself, I know that whether thats the best decision is always a judgement call and a had-to-be-there situation.
It was most unusual, but in today's world, situations like this are happening enough to be worthy of some forethought should something like it arise again.
