Using the "n" word

[walter]

In the sitch that Rut describes (i.e. only the two players and I have heard it, if I can, I will attempt to address the players individually and tell them that the next time costs them in a big way (yes I've threatened ejection). If, however, it is said in taunting form or threatening form and we all know the difference, that is flagrant right away. Double standard, maybe. However, I believe you have to look at each situation as it occurs. A bump is not always a foul either. Just my two cents.
