Most importantly be *consistent* with good technical arguments, calmly focus on
your actual matter rather than escalating any surrounding details.

Accept that sometimes things can't be reached directly, but additional work is
needed to change the preconditions.

Goals aren't reached by burning bridges, but by building them. Sometimes you
may not be able to build a bridge where you would like to. But you can still
look for alternative routes with and within the community.

Surely, it does take time and energy, but certainly there's no shortcut.
