Yes, you are making the ruling as you understand the rules. However, those that believed that recognizing the appeal was the correct ruling, but disagreed with the ruling and would therefore "see" a touch of the orange base, THOSE people are not calling according to the rules (as they understand them) merely because they don't like the rule. Dishonest umpiring is about as mild a way I can describe that.
