This has been a great thread

But, I have to disagree with some of you who think a "message" is inappropriate. There are limited situations where such an action works, and gets your point across.

Some of you guys think there is a black and white line where you need to dump a hitter who is demonstrating his dislike of your zone. Fine, if you want to put up with garbage from somebody all day until he does something you can dump him for.

But there are times when the moaning and groaning by a batter needs to end, and if I can do it by a message, better to do it that way than an ejection.
