I only once lowered myself to the level of swearing at a player in an "adult" league game. I balked the pitcher, who had a reputation of being a no talent whiner. His first response was to come off the mound and get in my face, telling me "you're a blind MF'er, and that youdon't know WTF your're doing". My response was, " well, you're a gone MF'er, and I"m a much better umpire then you are a pitcher".
I turned and walked away. His team mates escorted him off the field, he got in his car and drove away.
