I look at it this way. If an official in the stands doesnt know any better and is yelling out the working officials name, then do you really think saying "what the Heck was with that act at the game" is going to make him see the light? Of course not! That person is either too stupid or too new.
If he did it once, he'll do it again until OFFICIALLY reprimanded- hence notifying the assignor/assoc. Dont pass the buck to the next crew.
Though we are taught to ignore fans unless extreme (hello game mngmnt), I might also have him removed (htbt) for being an official using my name-- ...if its just another fan that knows my name, I may just ignore him
