I just want to clarify one thing. Reports are not necessarily made by the poster involved. Anyone can notify Administration, including deputy/posters.
But definitely we prefer things to be worked out if possible, and if posters involved respond in such a way as to facilitate rapprochement, it decreases the chance of administrative involvement.
I'm obviously not thrilled when posters get angry with Administration, but I'd hate to see those feelings turned toward other posters.
It definitely did serve a purpose when Dr. Bob was around. Even I routinely deflect my anger towards him. And he *seems* able to handle that. I think I'd fall off my chair if I found out anything I've ever said actually hurt Dr. Bob's feelings.
All these comments are very general in nature and do not directly bear on any particular situation.
