Two points:
When talking to a SP softball team about an umpire, the conversation is always going to be biased when it refers to an umpire's ruling even when it is in their favor. Many of these folks aren't too smart and just cannot help from running at the mouth about any break they get from an umpire's call. They WILL go out of their way to make an umpire look bad in the eyes of their fellow players.
A forfeit should be the last tool in an umpire's arsenal. I have tossed people before who have worked themselves into the crowd to watch the game. I don't care, as long as they are quiet and do not communicate with their team. I'm not on the field to not play the game.
