That is actually a better way of explaining it I think. Give the majority a safe way to vent and you'll deflate growing sentiment.
My (probably unnecessary) expansion on this is that when you deflate the sentiment, all those who remain angry will become more extreme (just by nature of not being surrounded by less extreme people) and will become easily to marginalize/fire.
- larrys 14y agoI first noticed a similar behavior many years ago when the electric company pulled the power and we had some issues as a result. We were furious. Their first response was to toally agree with us and give us the distinct impression that they were going to "make good". As a result we didn't do anything we just waited because we didn't think there would be any problem in restitution. Well time passed and later I had lost my steam when they finally came around and said "sorry but we're not going to do anything".
