In my view, running over players because they're "in the way" sounds a lot like malicious contact--not a very abstract area of the rule book if you actually take the time to read it. I would hope there is a great deal of consistency in how that rule is applied.
Sorry you washed out of baseball before you made The Show, but the softball field is not the place to take out your frustrations.
To your last point, heck yes I like the feeling I get when I keep a difficult situation under control. When that situation involves a player or coach convinced s/he knows the rule better than I do, but is really a complete ignoramus, it feels even better.
