I think the emotional approach is not going to be helpful. The first thing anyone needs to ask him is, "Do you want to discuss the reffing, or do you just want to vent?" If he wants to discuss the job the refs did and the philosophies, and accountabilities they face, then that's one thing. If he just wants to climb up on a soap box and have lots of people say, "Oooo, you're cute when you're mad!", I don't think his spewings deserve a response. My guess would be the latter. But if someone does want to give it a try, I'd suggest establishing the grounds BEFORE the discussion starts, and not just launching off into, "Un-huh" "Unh-nuh." (I have no clue how to spell those two sets of sounds!)
