I don't think that matters. Other than that, it's a great list. I would disagree with the “Use your real name” part. I don’t think that matters. Other than that, it’s a great list.

I completely agree that we need to learn to be able to debate ideas (and it's alright if that gets heated sometimes) without attacking people.

Some time ago, in my fury about a post, I belted out a response (all the while stamping my feet and saying horrible words - sort of like number 2) and hit submit... Big mistake - huge. A week later, someone told me to search Goog under my name, and wow -there was my rant, my whinge. How dopey did I feel? If for no other reason than self preservation - choose words well when you wish to disagree. Especially when it is a subject you are passionate about - wait a little while... Sadly, as JFB points out, the people that know this stuff are reading these types of posts, and those who don't - aren't. So if you haven't stumbled this, please do! Better yet, do a summary on your blog and point to this--spread the word. With more voices more ears will be reached. After all, isn't that what the blogosphere is about?

Better yet, do a summary on your blog and point to this–spread the word. With more voices more ears will be reached.

After all, isn’t that what the blogosphere is about?

I made it in response to our homeowners association as a place for people to have freedom to speak their views and to share information. What actually happened though was something so vicious and ugly that it split the neighborhood instead of uniting them. I thought that giving people a platform for First Amendment Rights was a good thing, but by people using anonymity it was a train wreck waiting to happen. I had to pull some entries and comments because of the abusive way people were treating each other. The reason I am posting this is because I read your 15 rules of disagreeing and think it should give people some kind of parameter for posting onto my blog. I'd like to give Raves and Rants another try. I put it on an entry with a link back to this page. If that is a problem, I will remove it. If not, thank you. I hope it helps to return some common sense and civility to our community. I have a blog called “Raves and Rants”.

Writing a successful retort is more than just slinging some mud at your opponent. To be truly successful, you need to craft a well thought out message. There is no excuse for making an ad hominem attack, unless the person is saying something that goes beyond to bounds of decency. Ad hominem attacks are a sign of ignorance. It says to me that you are not intelligent enough to form a persuasive, reasoned argument. When writing persuasively and online, remember that your goal should be to influence you readers, not amuse yourself. Otherwise, just keep your opinion to yourself.
