2. Don’t interrupt. Wait for your turn to speak. Don’t cut others off or talk over them.
3. Focus on ideas, not people. We critique ideas and arguments, not the person making them. No name calling.
4. Allow everyone who wants to participate the chance to do so.
5. Use appropriate language with respectful vocabulary. No offensive language or personal attacks.
6. Be open-minded and willing to consider different perspectives, even if you disagree.
