Instead he chose to intentionally slide into F4 who happen to be partly in the base path as he attempted to throw to first

Your reading is as faulty as your call. I NEVER said slashing was acceptable. I said a LEGAL slide. Do you know the difference?
Please explain how a runner can slide "in a direct line between the two bases away from F4", if "F4 who happen to be partly in the base path as he attempted to throw to first"? You're contradicting yourself.
By your original post, R1 made a LEGAL slide, but you didn't like it, so you "banged" him.
