If you believe someone is engaging in bad faith you have three responsibilities:

  • 1. Maintain a charitable attitude. (Ask questions in earnest about why they believe what they believe)
  • 2. Continue to engage in good faith. (Don’t stoop to their level)
  • 3. Attempt to steer the conversation in a productive direction. (eg. Steelman: ask for clarification and see if you can restate their argument in a way they would accept)

  • 4. Accept that you could not steer the conversation in a productive direction, leave the conversation for at least 1 hour.
