Any situation can be handled gracefully.  The challenge will be to
come up with an appropriately graceful response in realtime. Luckily,
we are both quick on our feet and have experience with having
unexpected situations dropped in our laps, but there are also many
polite ways of postponing giving input or a decision until we're sure
it's the right thing to do.  There may be times when people try to
involve us in personal disputes or political disagreements, and that's
when it's all the more important to keep our personal opinions at home
and either try to help work something out (Yeliz is known at work for
creating win/win results) or politely refuse to be engaged, as is
appropriate.
