"Fairness" in Combat

Hail all,
A few thoughts on the subject of "fighting fair" -- forgive me if I've come to
the wrong board with this.
I was recently told by someone who challenged me to a spar, that utilizing
my falcon during the spar would "not be fair", because he did not have one.
Are you going to put away your Steel Longsword because I don't have one?
Will you take off your armour, because I have none?
Will you fight on your knees, instead of standing, since you are 315% of my
might?
If I give you a complete list of my skills and abilities, will you refrain
from using any of your skills which I do not also possess?
I think not.
If you wish to do battle, then draw your sword. If you wish to complain, then
go duel a pixie.
Regards,
