Best to let it go on or to avoid it at all costs? I hear what your saying.
From experience, No. But, from others and as you can how the one in the other thread was, then you can see why it should not be done.

But, if you want to allow it, then go ahead. But, when it blows up in your face and causes a bigger problem than just stopping it in the beginning, then oh well.

My suggestion is for those who are not known to be an umpire to that umpire, should not try to bother the umpire after the game is over. The game is over so let it go. If they want results, go to the umpire's assignor(or whatever the person is called in your area), and let them deal with it. It will be less confrontational and probably get better results. Not let it go on but do it in a more professional, courteous manner(and this applies to umpires especially). Better results come from that approach. A Rat trying to do it in the heat of the moment may not get any results expected.
