Based upon this statement, since the fan was a jerk due to his methods and the official used those methods against him, then the official must also be a jerk. Also, there was a confrontation, it just (luckily) didn't escalate to violence.

I agree that a bully needs to be stood up against, but it needs to be done with a measure of decorum. Regardless of poorly some schmuck acts, the official should not stoop to the schmuck's level. Even if this is in a rec league, there should still be a gym administrator or someone in charge of the facility to take care of the problem.
