Since I wtnessed this contact myself, I was offering my opinion that it did not violate any foul rule.

I'm sorry, but that right there dismisses the fact that any rule applies to what happened. Rule G29 specifically applies to what happened, was it violated is a completely different question.

What he said. Please consider communicating some of your internal reasoning next time. We are not mind readers, so it's extremely easy to take single sentence answers the wrong way.
