Fight Fair
This is a great reminder, and worth using to set the ground rules from the top of any conflict:
HOW TO HAVE A FAIR FIGHT!
Keep your time-frame short
Keep your communication honest
Keep your tactics fair
Agree on time and place
Lower your voice
Avoid terms like never and always
Don’t dredge up past conflicts
Don’t say mean/hurtful things
Listen – don’t just wait your turn
Reconciling is more important than winning
Hat Tip to Glenn Teal.
