Some of the answers here would have implied I had a thin skin and was not a good umpire and was just looking for trouble. His Post suspended him and later asked him not to come back. I was very green and he thought he would take advantage of me......oh well......
The OP seems like a reasonable person and did nothing wrong in my opinion. I would hope that other umpires in the league would follow his example......but I doubt it being paid $40 for a youth game.
Parents and coaches are the reason I watch most games from afar these days. I don't think my fuse has gotten any shorter these past years......but I do think that coaches "idiot filters" have gotten more holes in them.

I find it funny that so many people said how local rules must be followed in the local rule thread and then come here and say to not follow local rules.
I do think the OP should count his blessings and move on. You aren't a good official if you don't get scratched from a league or two along the way.
