once the first party starts using flags to resolve a personal issue, that becomes a public issue.

especially for a whale...if they're going to throw that weight around, they need to be accountable for it.

a *very* long time ago, when I was a corporal, and I had two guys lock horns, I would make them go fight...most of the time that got them to shake hands and work it out. but sometimes they would go ahead and punch each other a little..  When that happened I couldn't chase the lookyloos away fast enough.

if these folks dont want to air their dirty laundry, they need to avoid slapping each other in the face with it on the platform in the first place
