Congrats ... but why did you feel it was necessary for you, as umpire, to interject yourself. It may have been way over A line, but it is not your line to draw unless a fan gets to the point where they are disrupting a game (which for me, would practically require said fan to enter the field).
You're asking for trouble addressing any nonsense outside the fence ... especially if mandated by rule as in the OP.
