Here are my suggestions.

1. Post openly, honestly and in good faith.
   
   
2. Do your best to understand the other person's point of view.
   
   
3. Do not engage in semantical arguments or word games.
   
   
4. Do not nitpick.
   
   
5. Back up declarative statements with explanation and evidence.
   
   
6. If you post, you take on an obligation to explain yourself. If you make an assertion, be prepared to answer any questions about it. When someone asks you a direct question, do your best to answer it. Don't just post things and disappear in the face of opposition. Don't hide behind silence.
   
   
7. Have a thick skin. Try not to take things personally.
   
   
8. Keep an open mind and be a learner. It just might be that you have something to learn.
   
   
9. Give people room to breathe.
   
   
10. Be kind. But don't feel the need to tolerate someone who abuses the grace of others.
    
    
11. Do not abuse the grace of others.
