You know, what you say is thoroughly and completely true!
I often wonder if the spectators knew that they are utterly insignificant to any seasoned umpire, would they even say some of that crap? I actually like hearing most of it, because I find it amusing when someone is screaming in public about something in which they are not even a factor.
