Questions after conflict

After conflict, the oracle should cool the fire, not feed the oil of righteousness.

Strong questions

• What in this conflict was fact, and what was my defense?
• Where is a boundary needed, and where is a conversation needed?
• What step humiliates neither me nor the other?

Weak formulations

• Who will win?
• Who is finally guilty?
• How do I make them apologize?
