You letting the pitch continue was one way to handle it. With the AAs, you sometimes have to creatively discipline, or you'd just have to eject them all.

I personally have no problems with cursing. I think others disagree with my philosophy on this. If I'm calling a church league, I don't allow it. If I'm calling AAA Movers vs Joe's Construction, I probably won't even acknowledge a comment like, "That ball was over my f-ing head." HOWEVER, if, as implied by another responder, you did loss control of your actions, that is not good. Being level headed around the AAs is an absolute must.
i wouldn't have considered my cursing, in and of itself, to be out of control. I do have a mouth like a truck driver-it's just I don't do it when I'm umpiring.
