I was saying that you help Them, not the reverse. And if they're completely unclear, but I think they've put some effort into making some statement that just isn't coming across, I just ask. Something like "could you clarify? I don't see what you mean by somethingsomething in light of othersomething." Granted, I don't win many online debates that way, but really all I'm trying to do is get the person to consider some other way of looking at the picture.
