No thread about Bob Davidson ejecting a fan?

So if a slur is hurled at a player in a game you are running, you just wish he would stop or go away, and you go about your business? Well, you just keep doing it that way, and we'll keep doing what's right in the rare case that a fan hurls a slur at someone.
