Actually it is a rule. It is rule 1.3 E in fact. And the fact that rule 1.3 G is there to give the TD some discretion in applying the rule does not invalidate the original rule.

It really doesn't matter what anybody thinks about the decision. It is the TDs call and it follows the rules set out for this situation. Add to that, the fact that the TD has applied this rule many times in the past and been consistent in its application across the board, there should be no need for further discussion unless you are trying to propose a change to the rule.
And again, since starting my last post out with this statement didn't seem to get my point across: Not only am I not taking sides on any personal battles here (I am doing my best to avoid any of that mire that seems to bubble up every time there is a discussion on these boards), all of the people involved: both players and TDs are irrelevant.
Rules exist for this situation.
Rules were followed when the situation arose.
End of discussion.
