Having come from a refereeing background, (basketball) I can say that nipping it in the bud is nothing to do with a good ref.
Consistency with applying the rules is.

Nipping it in the bud creates a fuzzy line that leaves all confused.
A simply solid line that when crossed is penalised appropriately, is what is required.

Same as parenting, the fuzzier the line, the more problems occur.

You can caution when the line is approached so as to guide to it's presence, but you cannot let some go and not others.
Just because somebody only says something rarely, does not mean it should be let go, it needs the same line applied.
ODH only ever says what is said all the time on these forums, he just says it more often.........

He may paint a target on his back, doesn't mean he should be shot any more than the next who cross the line.
