I don't have a problem with the home plate umpire tossing someone. We don't know what was said, maybe something that looks innocent from 50 yards away was full of F-bombs. Also, there are ways to argue without showing up the umpire. (turn around, look away from the umpire, and say your piece while walking back. He'll hear it, but it looks to us that you aren't arguing)
Once you start staring at the ump and yelling at him, your fate is in his hands, but I don't understand the 3rd base ump ever ejecting someone in that situation. If the home plate ump is fine with it, then he should be fine with it.
