I think this is a good practice as a matter of course, but I do not think it is that simple.

I also think for good common sense suggestions like this, you should just make the suggestion and avoid predictions re: future behavoir. Because your suggestion is good - particularly from the IMM standpoint (for example, if RayBaer responds immediately like how you suggested, she'll "clear the air" and move on rather than get quietly burned out). But the chances that Derogker is going to respond favorably to being pulled aside by an IMM - or that "everyone would be much more happier" following these types of asides are suspect at best. If you make suspect predictions, people will focus on their disputes with them as opposed to the merits of your suggestion.
