Be kind. Don’t be snarky. Converse curiously; don’t cross-examine. […]

Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive. […]

Respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that’s easier to criticize. Assume good faith. […]

Don’t post shallow dismissals, especially of other people’s work. A good critical comment teaches us something.
