I am sure that most on this board remember when fans thought it was simply a humorous gesture to throw glass bottles at umpires. Equally humorous and the ever-innocent, (and legal) "KILL THE UMP!"

I think the intent of the newer interpretations of the rule is to address this special class of individuals, and to put an exclamation point on a necessary and pervasive cultural correction.
