I can understand where everybody is coming from and the fact that different people have different comfort levels and expectations from wardens, etc. I wouldn't have done it that way (looking at the LE side of things) but then again, I've always looked at LE (Law Enforcement) stuff like the old choices you used to get in catalogs when buying something--Good, better or Best.
Like Bull, I was a tad overzealous and pretty green when I first started in LE. It was kind of a quantity versus quality issue. As I learned over time and a lot from some wise old guys (they often have made the same mistakes you have and already learned from them), I figured out how to go for quality versus quantity. You catch a lot more bad guys that way and you gain a huge amount of respect and cooperation from everybody else and often even the bad guys.
From what I read, I don't think that particular warden has hit his stride or is operating at his "best" level yet. Hopefully he matures and gets there.
