(b) Parties, representatives, and witnesses shall not engage in bitter exchanges, or vulgarities. When such an act is committed, the board shall admonish the offender reminding him/her that such behavior impedes the orderly disposition of a matter.
(c) If the offense is repeated and further admonition appears fruitless, the board shall exclude a disorderly person from the hearing.
(d) A disorderly person shall not lose his/her case because of offensive conduct or the offensive conduct of his/her representative or witness.
