> it is not, and never has been, that we don't respect and appreciate the deputies or appreciate the heroic efforts they made to administer the policies in effect a few years ago as fairly as possible.
Thanks for reiterating that.
> Judging from some of the comments they have made ... they still have painful feelings about trying so hard to administer a policy so harsh, inconsistent and unpopular with the vast majority. It was a hopeless task for them - and for you. When the deputies express their feelings honestly, they seem mainly angry at you for putting them in such a difficult position. I think if you dealt more directly with the feelings they have towards you, rather than dragging all the rest of us into it, you would be taking steps towards resolution.
1. I'm willing to deal directly with any feelings they have towards me. They know how to reach me.
2. I wonder if support from posters would've helped them when they were in such a difficult position.
