My question to you is that have you ever felt that you did the right thing when umpiring and then either not receive or get pulled from a future big game due to ejecting participants/coaches rather than simply taking the BS from participants? As I look back on it, had I not ejected and simply took the BS, I'd still be working the game.
What are your stories?

...but could you have looked at yourself in the mirror the next morning knowing you took the BS????
I know you're bummed out, and ump politics do suck....but you had the balls to be a stand-up ump and run the rat *******.
You're my kind of umpire.
Keep your head high....all you lost was an assignment but you kept your integrity.
