If one can't state one's "opponent's" position clearly, completely, and correctly, in terms with which he would agree, and which he would find inoffensive, one has absolutely no business commenting on the matter.

I'll try to remember that as I read things posted in caucus, where I am able to go only while wearing a gag.

A wise man (or woman) would see that as an opportunity to learn something. Even if one doesn't agree with what one finds there, one can at least learn what other folks actually think and believe. Their actual beliefs, thoughts and practices may well turn out to be very different from what their detractors suggest of them. A wise person would see, then, that the detractors are not to be believed.
