Sometimes you've got to take your medicine as a result of the situation that you've helped to create.

So, you'd allow the player to yell at you AND ignore a legal TO reqest? If that had happened I'm sure there would have been even more people yelling at you. If you wouldn't have whacked the kid for this - what would it take to deserve a T? You cannot let your knowledge of game situation control what you should and should not call. You have to take care of business. You can't let this outburst slide by.
