I do understand the wording of the rulebook. I teach clinics. It's obvious that either A) you've never attended a clinic anywhere, B) you don't listen at the clinic, or C) you are being intentionally stupid just to stir things up.
None of the rules you cite apply at all to this sitch. Please feel free to explain why you think they do.
IMHO, using the "Sportsmanship" language in the book to enforce something that is clearly not illegal, but simply offensive to an individual umpire, is where some umpires cross the line.
I'm done with you. I gave you a second shot because for a brief time in another thread, you were sane. Oh well. My bad.
