If the shoe fits...
(Note - I'm not ridiculing ANY umpire for upholding the rules he's given. Leagues I've worked have had some pretty ridiculous ones - but I uphold them at best as possible.
I'm just saying... 99% of the time, a rule invented by a league that circumvents, supplements, or contradicts the regular rulebook (which is FINE for everyone else) is almost always filled with problems. And the profanity rule, unless spelled out completely (and it never is) is one of those.)
