Examples

“In the course of my lifetime, I have⟳ engaged in many sorties in milchamtah shel Tora. In some, I have⟳ conceded error; in some, those with whom I disagreed conceded error; in yet others, we agreed to remain⟳ in disagreement. However, in none of them did the conversation ever degenerate to the level of personal insult or invective, and certainly not to the nadir of nibul pe. Rather, we each made the effort to understand⟳ the other's point⟳ of view⟳ respectfully, and responded to each other's thoughts and the words by which they were expressed, not to what we perceived to be the other's motives.”
