Sometimes I gain the (temporary) ability to stop, ask them a little for why they think the way they do, then begin my response with "I understand.." where I work to make them feel comfortable for making the choices they made (that is, so they don't get defensive) and offer things like "Perhaps instead of X, you can look at Y", etc,.
Unfortunately, the rest of the time, I'm not very good at being a peace maker.
If you would like for a role model, then look no further than Atticus Finch. You may commence your Lessons in Manliness, Lehrling.
