But it's a really good idea to spread the "turn the other cheek" meme among
the people you have to live with!

I am not so sure about that. If there are too many ToC strategies around,
suddenly more predatory strategies become viable. It could be a case where
"too nice" strategies pave the way for "too nasty" or predatory strategies. I
guess it would be good if you prefered a nasty strategy yourself, but too many
of those can ruin the game for everyone. I think excess ToC strategies can
destabilize the evironment.
