That's my approach, too.  Particularly on-line.

Which doesn't mean I have to agree with whatever 
position they espouse.  Far from it.  But I think 
in general it is a lot more productive — not to 
mention easier on /my/ mental and emotional state 
— to discuss the ideas rather than the person and 
try to guess at his/her motivation(s) and the 
shortcomings of his/her personality and/or history . . .
