Typically yes, "tree hugger ranger" would gain compliance, but not always. It was sometimes a chance encounter, especially when patrolling the urban-wildlands interface!
Exactly! And that's why - as a I park ranger - I used to leave my violation clipboard in the truck when I was feeling out-of-sorts. That way, I would consciously use my diplomatic, friendly "tone" while dealing with the situation in order to get compliance. (Haha - I'd purposefully sound more like my tree hugger ranger self, than ranger cop!)
So... if you didn't have your violation clipboard on you, you weren't citing them, because you knew your tone could do the better job of correcting the issue? I'm not surprised your "tree hugger ranger" tone worked better than the "ranger cop" at getting compliance. Makes absolute sense to me.
Very informative observations. You should connect with Ed Hooks on LinkedIn. He lives in Chicago now (former resident of the Bay Area) and teaches animators how to direct actors.

Will do. Thanks! Sounds like Ed is teaching them how to be “an actor’s director.” The best kind.
That's why some emails and texts can be dangerous
