Actually, I said that very thing to a player ~ 3 months ago.
On the flop, 1/2 game, 5 players see the flop. SB leads off for $20.
BTN (a regular he's been playing there for years.) He says "protecting your flush draw?"
I ask him not to discuss a hand in progress. He looks at me and asks why?
I explain that you are not supposed to discuss a hand in progress in multi-way pots. BTN acts as if this is the first time he has ever heard of it. He tells me I must be wrong, I'm about to call the floor when he says: "Besides, everyone here saw the flush draw anyway."
This is probably when I should have just called a floor, the player is a royal PITA but I went ahead and said.
"Then there was no need for you to mention it, was there?"
I can't recall how the hand played out but afterwards he started to pick up his chips and leave then looked at his watch and said "hell, you'll be gone in 10 minutes anyway." and he left the table.
Since then if I push into a table he is at, he leaves. I do not miss him at all. He has never said anything to a floor person either or I would have been asked about it.
