May I suggest that perhaps we are reading too much into these rules.
Here is what I read.
Rule 1: Everyone has the right to their opinion. Unless you are asked (or they are in danger, etc.) it's not your place to correct the other person. I.e Just because I'm raw food vegan, doesn't mean every time I see someone eating a burger I have to give them a lecture on animal cruelty.
Rule 2: I think this one is obvious to everyone thus far.
Rule 3: I think it's the same as rule 1. But too comment a little farther. Disagreements are not necessarily bad. Disagreements at the wrong time are. I relish a spirited debate and as some people who read my posts may have noticed love contrarian points of view. Yet I also learned that there are times where it's not my place to speak. If I'm a guest in your house, you better believe I'm not about to comment on lack of Feng Shui in your living room. I will honor your hospitality and keep my mouth shut.
Rule 4: I think everyone here agrees on this one as well.
