    Ask another question

    Rather than a direct confrontation, often an indirect and respectful question is better received.  Such as when one enthusiastic team person interrupts another in midsentence.  A disrespectful intervention might be: "That's disrespectful."  For well-crafter "ground rules" an appropriate question could be: "Excuse me.  Is that in keeping with our ground rules?  We definitely want to hear what you have to say, but should we not let the other person finish his[her] remarks first?"

    Re: Ask another question

    Also, another good way to further the conversation in a respectful and helpful manner is to ask further-leading questions such as "How would a person do that?"  "Why is that important?" or "What would that entail?"  In this manner, a person can be lead to closely examine their ASSUMPTIONS such that they themselves can discover the weaknesses and flaws in their position rather than you arguing with them.
