This article significantly changed my way of seeing things as well
The key part for me is when Mr Burnside started responding to the haters with respect and curiosity
“Over the course of thousands of bits of hate mail, I estimate that about 50% ended up saying, in substance: “Thank you for discussing this issue with me. I agree with you now”; and about 25% ended up saying, in substance: “Thank you for discussing this issue with me. I don’t agree with you, but it is good that you stand up for what you believe”. The other 25% remained entirely unconvinced and, I assume, continued to vote for John Howard.”
you would have to read it but it’s worth it
