I ran into an issue last night at an event I was working ICly security for. A couple of players were making a ruckus and I was asked by the organizer to make them stop (No I won't name any names.), initially it seemed like they cooled down, but then the bickering started back up, and I told one of the responsible parties they need to leave. They for the most part refused, and I had to get a bit authoritative ICly, again they pretty much refused and played tough guy.
Now usually that would be all well and good, but here's where my issue lays the person causing issues was a barely clothed Midlander Hyur, my Character being a heavy armored Roegadyn that towered over them. Yet he acted and treated the situation, like I was some small child. Okay again usually I'd shrug this off (Though when I'm faced down by an imposing authoritative figure at an event, I personally play along.) but this time it bugged me.
It feels like no one has perspective of size or intimidation, if a huge bouncer tells a scrawny trouble maker to knock it off IRL, that scrawny trouble maker knocks it the $#@% off.. Other than that,when someone is doing security at an event isn't it an unwritten rule that if you are asked to leave for causing trouble you leave?
How do others who work event security handle situations with players that have to make a ruckus, and refuse to acknowledge any kind of event security trying to hush them down or remove them?
EDIT For Clarification: The comparison to Roegadyn vs Hyur is a subjective comparison here as to illustrate heavily armed security vs scantily clad rebel rouser. Too many people are focusing on that part. The part that I want people to focus on, are people not respecting events and event security, and how to handle these people and minimize them from ruining an event because they're character can't back down and follow event rules.

Playing some character, maybe on Balmung, maybe not.
