In order to refute your opponent's points without personally attacking them, it is important to stay focused on the topic and to find common ground. You can accomplish this by using facts or examples to undermine their arguments, while keeping your own tone respectful and polite. By refuting their point in a civil manner, you can disagree without creating unnecessary tension between the two parties.

When refuting your opponent's points, focus on the argument itself and not the person making it. Address the logic of their argument, point out factual errors or incorrect assumptions, or offer counter examples. Do this in a respectful and non-abrupt manner, explaining why you disagree and how your position is different. This will allow both parties to remain cordial while still getting their points across.
