Agreed, but it's still different, I see that similar to a kid butting his head against the wall in frustration. Now, if he does some sort of soccer header on the ball and launches it out of frustration, he'll get a chance to retrieve it. As far as I'm concerned, he may as well have throwin it; it'll get treated the same.

For me, for lack of an authoritative definition, I'm going with the ones that are not allowed to be broadcast over the radio. Those words will get less tolerance and have fewer contexts in which they will not draw a T. Other words (damn, OMG, JC, etc.) will depend largely on context. I'll treat them all similar to if the player had said, "you're kidding me."

And here we are, both of us saying we didn't say the other was wrong.
I understand and agree with what you're saying; I was just responding to what I felt (rightly or wrongly) was an unfair insinuation that those who would call the T in the OP were either thin-skinned or "overly officious."
