I agree you never voiced your agreement/disagreement with the rule. I said "most people," i.e. the people who have replied to this thread.

Guess I'm not understanding your point....unless you are saying that something can't be unsporting if it is not vulgar or abusive.

Well, as it turns out, trying to discuss the merits of the rule turns into accusations of trying to make excuses for unsporting acts haha.

Not true. Situation 4.18.2: A1 dunks over B1 and then taunts B1. B1 retaliates and punches A1.

I agree with you. And these are the type of situations that I'm talking about. My issue with the way the rule is worded is that in both of these situations, you instigated a fight, which results in...

And I don't want to work with officials who can't discuss topics without being derisive.

No one is making excuses. We are discussing the the merits of the punishment.
