At Between Two Worlds - good advice for Christians [actually, for everyone] about how to engage in controversy, taken from "On the Ethics of Controversy" by Tom Wells:
- show respect for the persons with whom you differ
- give your opponent accurate definitions of your key ideas
- when in doubt, put an orthodox construction on your opponent's words
- suspect a man's judgment before you suspect his sincerity
- be ready to believe that the truth is larger than you have understood it to be
