1. Don’t go into details about, for example, the behavior of the US, when that was not the topic being discussed.  It’s fine to merely bring it up as an aside, but don’t go into any deep details unless someone asks.<p>2. Don’t ascribe ignorance to people that could very well be honestly disagreeing with you.  It is very possible to have read all your references and <i>still not agree with you</i>.  People draw different conclusions from the same facts all the time.  Reasonable people <i>can</i> disagree.<p>3. Don’t go overboard with references.  More is <i>not</i> better.  One or two references (which should ideally themselves be summaries with references of their own) is quite enough.
