I've never done it, as I never felt the need. But, in your case, I can certainly understand it.

I would save that grenade for a truly deserving target.

You can only do what you can and let the chips fall where they may. Just do your job and that is all you can do if someone is not on the same page.

Yes, if using Arbiter, the program gives you the ability to block partners.
But what are most association rules on this matter? Do most allow it? Are there limits? To my knowledge, it has never come up before in my association, which is using arbiter this year for the first time.

In your postgame, pick one, and only one, situation to discuss, and put it in the form of a question. "I have a question about how we switched, and inbounded the ball, after you called that backcourt violation. Nice call, by the way. You were right on top of it. Since I'm a rookie, I hope that you can help me out here. I really want to make sure that we did it right."

The Arbiter settings can be changed to where you can not block partners, sites, teams, etc. My basketball association does not let you block anything except for dates, and you can not decline games. They are auto-accepted when you sign in. In my high school baseball group that uses the Arbiter, we can block partners, sites, dates, teams, etc.
