1. Dispute the actual claim I am making. Ideally quote it. Do not substitute it with a nearby claim that someone from an opposing coalition might make. There is a good chance I don't agree with that coalition. I endeavor to say exactly what I mean.
2. Do not flatten the logical form. If I put a statement in a conditional, then I am not asserting the consequent unless the antecedent is true. An analogy is not an equivalence. A critique of evidence is not a critique of the problem.

3. State what you are actually disagreeing with. If you are taking issue with the implications of an analysis, don't attack the statistics. If you are disputing facts I am going to trust that the facts are the problem and not the moral premise or terminology. 4. Ask me questions about what I believe. Do not assume that just because my argument reminds you of some argument you didn't agree with that we actually disagree with each other. 3/
