Message: [QUOTE="Cesum Pec, post: 5269183, member: 402036"] I disagree with the official's needle. I haven't seen anything but your report, but based on what you described, the official should have just walked away to a distance that allows him to observe, but not interact with the angry player. Too often the official wants to "win" the debate. There is no justification for that. The player doesn't have to agree with the official or be happy with the ruling. The player only has to accept that the ruling is final. As long as the player didn't get out of line and keep an argument going with other players or the dealer in a manner that slows the game, there is no call for further comment from the official. If comment by the official is required, it should not further argue the ruling, just warn and if needed issue a punishment for bad behavior. [/QUOTE]
