if you acknowledge them, then they got you. they know you are hearing what they are saying, and they know they are under your skin. you are right in most cases that it will only get worse
Brian:

I agree with you if the spectators are just being ugly in the stands where they belong. When they stand behind the backstop and start in then it becomes disruptive not only to us, but to the players as well. I'm not talking about a little innocuos comment or two, I'm talking about being seriously abused verbally. Stop the game and get them moved away from the backstop.
