Try to learn about your opponent. Choose to seek out the points you agree on and discuss those. Once you have reached this level of rapport, move on to the more challenging topics. It is easier to progress towards understanding this way. Also, if you can manage to have compassion for the other side, then all the better.

And a really excellent way of doing this is to attend InterNetWorkers Gatherings and meet these folks in person. Don't call someone a fuckhead unless/until you've raised the glass with them!
