Dylan defends: Provocative language is helpful in conversation.

PRACTICAL TAKEAWAY TIPS
1. When your conversation partner says something you disagree with or find insulting, try to table that issue for later if it’s not the main point you’re discussing right now.
2. Even when your conversation partner challenges the very foundation of your purpose, continue listening, engaging and asking questions.
3. Don’t get distracted by names or words that aren’t relevant to the argument being advanced.
