More frequently than this, I see the defense gather 'round the pitcher and they all see to kick dirt.
As long as the pitcher makes me belive she's in contact, I've got no problem with whether there's dirt on the pitcher's plate or not.

Ditto. If I've cleaned the PP, I've done my job. Now, if the pitcher chooses to cover the PP, I don't have a problem with that, but the pitcher better make me believe there are no violations occuring. If I think that there are (and I'm not going to look any harder than normal), I certainly will not be giving the pitcher the benefit of the doubt after deliberately covering the PP with dirt.
