You can disagree without being condescending or insulting. If we can agree to disagree on a simple argument, how can we attempt to achieve heftier goals like OFA for all? If you start with the premise that not everyone is going to agree with you, and take the time to consider the other point of view, the argument can be constructive, instead of destructive.
