Good, then you will not read me agreeing with Steve on this one.

It wasn't the UIC or TD that this kid berated at the field in front of at least two teams, it was the on-site authority figure, the umpire.

I commend umpire's patience and poise and glad it worked out with this kid, but I believe our point is coming from another direction. Too many of us have run into situations where a player or team thinks their actions are acceptable especially away from their home fields. And when they act like that toward another umpire..........well, that is the mess to which Steve was referring.
