There is no need to draw the player into getting DQ'd.

That's what I was thinking, why escalate and cause more problems? Walking off the field might it look like I was hoping he'd follow me off the field so I could DQ him. A double caution for continually dissenting after the first one is a lot easier to explain than a double for dissent and then leaving the field without permission. It would look like you were trapping him in for a second caution.

I'm assuming we're on the same page for the "trapping" part...
