No combat. Conflict has to be handled in other ways (assuming there's conflict).
Yes, I agree, conflict should be addressed by no more than a heated discourse at afternoon tea. There shall be no throwing of crumpets, and absolutely no elbows on the table! The deadliest attack will be a gaze of consternation, such to cause the victim mild intestinal discomfort!
