Unlike Pearson, John actually had people that were loyal to him and had Officers that came online and did stuff for him. It wasn't a dictatorship because John would let the Officers work things out online, if there was a major issue, he'd come online. Pearson didn't really have that luxury because, well, he's fruity.

Also, John was a hell of a leader to sustain order even when he never even came online. You really need to think about it that way.
