One tipoff that the ump might never have read the rule book is that he called the runner out for obstruction.
Some umps assume that if something unfortunate happens, there must be a rule somewhere that makes things "right."
Incidentally, if all you did was pose that question to the ump, and if you didn't yell/scream/curse/make obscene gestures/etc., you should not have been ejected.
