True. I seem to recall Borg losing a game by protesting silently, refusing to serve, just staring blankly. Warning, point lost, point lost, game.

Also true. Intermission or time-out discussions of this length just don't happen. My point is this: Some things are universal, and name-calling from contender to official is one of them. It's about respect for the position. It should be dealt with swiftly, and I don't see why it matters what sport and/or what level it is.
