I pretty much (almost) never interact with fans. I am in the "you can't quote silence" camp on this one.
That even goes as far as tolerating them much further than most officials. I simply do not care what they say to me, and pretty much ignore everything.
I've only ever had three fans tossed, and in two cases GM actually handled itm and in one I did (which was likely a mistake).
One case a fan was threatening to me, another a student got up and stepped onto the court trying to get into a fight with a player, and the last a mother told her son to hit another player.
If they are going to interfere with the game, they have to go. Other than that...they paid their two bucks to come act like a monkey - I let them.
