(11,804 posts)I'm not talking about RW trolls; it just seems like people come here expecting bad faith, dishonesty, and hatred. I don't always do this, but think it's best to assume that most of the people you are arguing with are doing so in good faith and are saying things they really believe. Conversation may prove that not to be the case; and at that point you can do what you like. But you can at least make an attempt to see the other person's point of view initially.
I have an opinion on the Israeli Palestinian conflict, but I can understand how a good person might well look at the information carefully and come to another conclusion than my own. And because of that I don't want to assume that the people on the other side of the fence are immoral monsters.
