around three principles: "niceness, provocability, and forgiveness." To reach a solution, he says, each side should treat each other "nicely" but should show that they can respond forcefully to aggression. But as soon as one party backs down and returns to "niceness," the other party should be forgiving.
The current standoff, Bordone says, is not following these ground rules.
