Agreed, but I consider this kind of a non-statement.

Conflict isn't bad. It's misunderstandings that are bad and lead to name calling or worse. In my experience, the majority of bad behavior at work is due to a misinterpretation of good/neutral intentions.

Conflict avoidance is pretty bad, in my opinion. However, it is a mistake to look at codes of conduct purely from an avoidance angle. This blog post is likely not about avoiding conflicts.
