My point is, "automatic" is tough to say due to the unending variation of possibilities. In order to say a situation is automatic, you have to narrow it down so much that the word "automatic" becomes meaningless.

Of course the context matters, agreed. If those words were said in obvious jest (tough to imagine, but anything is possible) I would reconsider. I honestly don't see what is all that controversial about DQ'ing a player who threatens another player. My usualy frame of reference is, "would my association stand behind me?" when considering how I would handle a situation. This one I would say is a resounding "YES".
