>So in this context the deputies and I might "hold" abusiveness or anger or something when posters aren't able to deal with it?
*rofl, what it comes down to is ya 'hold' the sh*t that flies!!!
Na, just deps/admin expected to intervene to some extent, so no surprizes there. The 'authority' and 'power' they potentially have is enough to make people think twice...and mebbe back off...
So to me its NOT holding anything *so* much, as the people arguing just sucking it up and stopping. Though there is perhaps some animosity involved as well, but mostly as a result of feeling the scarey powerless feeling IMO.See, if I tell someboddy to slow down in a school zone, they MIGHT slow down, or they just gonna flip me off...
But a cop says slow down...they generally do...cuz they don't want a ticket...
So babblers don't want people mad, so they real careful how they word stuff in a *situation*, but deps/admin. when they intervene,generally it stops..So it was mentioned somewhere Bob, that you said it was easy to intervene as a poster, beleive me, it is NOT. You end up sucked into the argument, or you end up getting bit on the *ss, or SOMETIMES it works.....
I think deps can struggle with this in their roles too.Sorry if this don't make sense. I trying real hard to make sense.
