The Holy Spirit is not an individual. It is God's power, and He uses it like we use electricity. It cannot operate of its own accord and as a power, can be dispensed, granted, given.
in the Bible is is not given a personal name
God’s Active Force; Holy Spirit. By far the majority of occurrences of ru′ach and pneu′ma relate to God’s spirit, his active force, his holy spirit.
Not a person. Not until the fourth century C.E. did the teaching that the holy spirit was a person and part of the “Godhead” become official church dogma. Early church “fathers” did not so teach; Justin Martyr of the second century C.E. taught that the holy spirit was an ‘influence or mode of operation of the Deity’; Hippolytus likewise ascribed no personality to the holy spirit. The Scriptures themselves unite to show that God’s holy spirit is not a person but is God’s active force by which he accomplishes his purpose and executes his will.
Lacks personal identification. Since God himself is a Spirit and is holy and since all his faithful angelic sons are spirits and are holy, it is evident that if the “holy spirit” were a person, there should reasonably be given some means in the Scriptures to distinguish and identify such spirit person from all these other ‘holy spirits.’ It would be expected that, at the very least, the definite article would be used with it in all cases where it is not called “God’s holy spirit” or is not modified by some similar expression. This would at least distinguish it as THE Holy Spirit. But, on the contrary, in a large number of cases the expression “holy spirit” appears in the original Greek without the article, thus indicating its lack of personality.—Compare Ac 6:3, 5; 7:55; 8:15, 17, 19; 9:17; 11:24; 13:9, 52; 19:2; Ro 9:1; 14:17; 15:13, 16, 19; 1Co 12:3; Heb 2:4; 6:4; 2Pe 1:21; Jude 20, Int and other interlinear translations.
The spirit of God energized men to speak his message of truth boldly and courageously before opposers and at the risk of their lives.—Mic 3:8.
Its being ‘poured out’ on his people is evidence of his favor, and it results in blessings and makes them prosper.—Eze 39:29; Isa 44:3, 4.

There are disputes only among irrational beings.
As rational beings, mankind should learn to settle their disputes.
The Holy Spirit obediently reveals all truth for mankind under the Command of Yahweh, the One True God.

Since it is Yahweh's Spirit, cf. Gen. 1, Proverbs, I find the question misspelled. I am vastly more concerned w/ Yahoo and any spirit/Spirit settling a dispute in mutual respect.

1 John 5:7 KJV For their are 3 that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these 3 are 1. The trinity doctrine which is where you get your concept of 3 separate people is false. Deuteronimy 6:4 Hear O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord. Zechariah 14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: and in that day there shall be one LORD, and his name one.
