But hey, I'll sleep better now knowing that as long as I don't act like a jerk, everybody will respect me for just ignoring him.

Get a life.
Missing the point there.

The OP has the official, AT THE BREAK, standing on his soapbox, with an audience, berating a fan. That is (IMO) wrong.

When you see me "Ranting. Raving. Waving their arms and stomping...." then you may tell me to get a life.
