- building a culture of respect in how we communicate with difficult and contentious issues
- when necessary, letting people know they've gone beyond the boundaries.

(It's a new thing to have a group such as "MoCo Desktop IT services" as a
"peer." We're trying this based on the idea that anyone in the Desktop IT group
should be able to resolve problems and make fixes to the systems.)
