Gary,
You are correct, the demeanor of the game will usually dictate the call, however there are a couple of simple criteria that you can apply. If the player is swinging from the shoulders it's a "T". No talking to, nothing. If they are swinging from the waist and it seems a little excessive I will mention it to the player.
Just like handchecking some things are just automatic......like two hands..............
shoulders is automatic.
