To me, this was obvious. I seek to treat "opponents" as co-conspirators against the veiled universe, participants against whom frames, suggestions, and ideas can be bounced off in unexpected ways, and thus tools for the purpose of discovering truth.

I haven't read enough of your arguments to judge how successful you've been at following your own tenets, but I think they are an excellent set of rules to aspire to. I especially like your mindset of the "opponent". Maybe because I share it.
