Game Rules

Calling my friends, both those who share my values and those who do not, to discuss and argue with equity and amiability:

1. no name calling. zero. 
2. no tit for tat. "you do this? well, I'm going to do this".
3. don't be arrogant in your response - check and recheck yourself on this.
4. separate people from the problem / issue. 
5. focus on the issues, not the people. 
6. love MUST be the message or we sound like clanging gongs.
7. always take the high road and if you can't say something with respect, don't say it. 
8. be reasonable and articulate in your responses, and don't be afraid to use humor. 
9. be grateful for events such as "Chik-fil-a", that raise awareness and bring "street view" clarity to the life-changing and end-game battles going on in our culture today. 
10. use this time to hone in on your own view and crystallize your articulate, loving and pointed response to the issue at hand.
