That does seem rather lopsided:\

It seems like run-of-the-mill good, mature behavior to me. I'm not perfect in my behavior, but there is rarely a good moment to be hostile. Among other things, it empowers the other person to turn me into someone I don't want to be.

I don't understand the problem with "don't be an ass" as a major rule
