profanity in fed games

I am appalled. No one, so far in this post, would eject a player for a clear violation of rules that prohibit profanity, as long as it was done in such a way as the umpire is the only person to hear the profanity, ie the one person you don't want to hear profanity, if you are a player.

I would love to see you or any umpire eject a player for a conversation that you the umpire completely started. The player was not arguing. The player was not disputing anything and did not chastise you. He simply responded to your silly question that you did not need to ask.

I would love to hear your explaination to a coach or an assignor/evaluator for this one. That should be a fun conversation.

Peace
