Default Home game sitngo \"ethics\"

Hey forum!

Every so often my friends from college & myself get together to have a poker afternoon. We play usually 2 or 3 sitngo style games with a flat payout structure and small buy-ins. It really is meant to be a fun atmosphere - $5 or $10 never breaks the bank for any of us and everyone has a good time. However, a situation came up between two of the players in this game that I want to run by the board before I "rule" on it for future poker afternoons.

Player A is a SLAG player, and Player B is a LP player. Player A is sitting behind Player B in both tournaments, and was getting frustrated whenever B would come into a pot and A would raise, or A would raise when B is in a blind. He claimed that blind stealing is essentially a dirty tactic in a friendly home game. Player A protested and laughed, saying that blind stealing is a very common tournament tactic in any poker tournament. I agree completely with Player A, but am unsure how to approach Player B about this issue. I should mention that Player B is very vocal about his views. How do I convince him that blind stealing is not 'dirty', and is a perfectly acceptable play. Thank you in advance!
