My town's rec department (winter ball) got to the point where they threatened to do this. The next season, the local IAABO board refused to ref their games.
I've learned to just ignore parents, with my only acknowledgement being perhaps a little internal chuckle when I hear the stupid things they say. I was confronted by a parent once after a game; I just gave a quick answer and moved on - probably shouldn't have said anything.
