If ejecting someone is "losing your cool," then I feel sorry for you as an umpire, because your lack of reality is shocking.

You didn't lose your cool
that time. You were admittedly baiting him by being sarcastic and verbose on that particular occasion. I am referring to a general climate that is worsened by certain umpires who are thin skinned or temperamental.
Shocking lack of reality ...
You are a very amusing small-town veteran. Keep up with the baiting and the sarcasm; I'll keep up with the decorum and control. I like my results better.
