Holding Your Tongue

Ground rules for holding your tongue:

1. Not every remark deserves a response.
2. Irritating e-mail messages should be answered later or not at all.
3. A cheap shot is not worth the price.
4. If in doubt, don't.
5. Beware of ascribing motives.
6. Give others the benefit of the doubt.
7. Always understate your case.
