Who is responsible for resolving disputes between members of the community? Disputes fall under a number of categories, physical disputes where members are involved in actual physical aggression should be stopped by all members present or a call could be made to security or failing that the local authorities. In such cases civil law will take over if the parties wish to place charges.

In social disputes they will take the form of a public dialogue which should occur with each of the members (or groups of members) debating and discussing their viewpoint and a selection of their peers voting to decide upon the acceptable or correct viewpoint.

Finally in the case of scientific disputes one should follow the facts as far as one can and the criticism should be followed in public peer review journals.
