I wasn't talking about the umpire's authority to eject a coach for arguing. I'm talking about how people want to cover some of these unique situations with the "unsporting conduct" or "spirit of the game" rules. I don't want an umpire to have to judge whether something was in violation of the "spirit of the game" because, as is clear by these discussions, everyone has a different opinion on that sort of thing.

Yes. This was pretty much the point of this silly thread. All of the plays are things that happen all the time. Anyone who chose b,c, or d for any of them would have to be prepared as an ump to eject. I assumed folks would have all kinds of opinions, and they did, just like the cutting 3b thread.
