Actually, it isn't that difficult. It is a matter of disassociation from the two arguing parties. I seem to have that trait to some extent, but must be careful to pick issues where I have no axe to grind. A committment can be made only when all involved parties have reduced their individual dissonance to a minimum. It never completely goes away. If the "bridge" is involved on one side or another, things can get fairly nasty real quick.
I have very few truly solid positions, and this may be a flaw. I do not know. But, it makes me rather mellow and open to new ideas without preconceived notions. I am curious about just about everything and figure that I can learn from just about anyone, no matter how smart or how stupid. Everyone has something to bring to the table.
