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."

That is why I do not use that as a standard. "You're kidding me" would not likely even get a response from me. If it did a T probably would not be the response. And if the standard is TV, they have blocked out a lot of words I would never find offensive or even a T would be warranted.

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." |
I understand. And this just illustrates why I do not like "automatics." I just want something more meaty to have than what a player says under their breathe or something more than losing control of the ball while being personally frustrated.
