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)
If you fail in those responsibilities, you should:
4. Accept that you could not steer the conversation in a productive direction, leave the conversation for at least 1 hour.
