Words matter

I think that the term "impeachment" is a loaded word, and not necessarily the most applicable for this site for the reasons that others have given.

I also think that when loaded words are used in broad, non-specific contexts, it increases the likelihood for speculation, projection, fear, defensiveness, anxiety, conflict, and argument.

I think that a perfectly reasonable approach to a complaint about a deputy's actions would be to email the specific concern and any applicable supporting materials to Dr. Bob. I see nothing wrong with making a post on admin announcing that an email has been sent to Dr. Bob about a concern about a deputy's actions.

I also believe that it's courteous, though not required, to inform the person you are making a complaint about regarding the nature of your complaint and your actions. And I think that the manner in which a complaint is raised often positively correlates with the manner in which it's received and considered.
