Association policy
Our Association (OR) has adopted a policy to avoid this. For 10 minutes prior to the game, during halftime, and 10 minutes following a game, the game officials are not to be approached by other officials unless invited. The purpose is to not distract from the game.
I think that a polite "Thank you for your input. May we discuss a few points regarding the game in private." would be a great response. Then, slip a note to your commissioner regarding the incident. He, the man of power, could then address the situation at the next meeting.
Best of luck
