When asking the person to rephrase their comment, it can be useful suggest a rewrite yourself.
Example: Someone noticed a commenter who appeared to be name calling another person. This is how they might have rewritten the comment: “I have this point of view because of this reason. I see other people with this different approach and I find it odd because it seems so much in conflict with what I’ve learned. I wonder how they got to that conclusion.”
I found this suggestion kind of surprising upon re-reading. Do you have experiencing of it working well? I worry it could easily come across as somewhat patronising.
