Surprised they made that much of a fuss for splitting 10s. Perhaps the dealer thought you were a newbie and was trying to protect you from making a costly mistake; splitting a winning hand, more often than not, is a bad move. But, I've occasionally split 10s for the heck of it, and never been hassled.
However, if you really want to set alarm bells off and get the attention of the pitboss and security, hit on a
hard 17+ hand, especially a 19 or 20.
On an aside, once at Vegas, at a higher limit table, I accidently stayed on 9 and still won! Needless to say, the other couple of players at the table, who all bust, weren't happy and promptly left.

They let me, I got an 8 and a 5, dealer hole card was a 2, dealer pulls 2 small cards and then a 10. Dealer busts, I win both hands.
