My issue is about comments about the PU when I don't have the dish. Each of us has a different way to control the game and different fuse lengths on comments from managers. Sometimes you might ignore the comment once, and eject if its said twice. I think thrice before tossing someone for a comment that the PU has chosen to ignore.

Fair enough, but I'd be tempted to wonder if the PU had actually "chosen to ignore" a remark, or simply didn't hear it in the first place. If someone makes a personal comment right in the guy's face, and he ignores it, fine. BUT, if the comment is from the dugout, the diamond or the coach's box then there's a distinct possibility that your partner didn't actually hear it. If that possibility exists AND you believe the comment crossed the line THEN you should be the one doing the ejecting regardless of who was the object of the insult. Agreed?
Cheers.
