"Good faith" seems to be a decent minimum bar for participation in any such argument.

Judging good faith is very difficult, since it depends on assessing someone else's interior experience of the discussion.

In a proper discussion you assume good faith. End of story.

In such a discussion you would also have to enter with the willingness to acknowledge that you were incorrect.

Those things are basic requirements for any civilized discussion.
