Everyone: "We don't do that here."

You: "What, never?"

Everyone: "No, never."

You: "What, *never*?"

For our species, this is the sort of thing that - outside controlled and formalized circumstances - tends to escalate with terrifying speed to 'now everyone's dead and I've lost my hat'. So you DO NOT get into physical altercations unless you're happy with that outcome."
