Leave a thoughtful, respectful response to each editorial you read. Continue the "community dialogue" discussion in the comments section under the editorial.
- You may disagree.
- You may add some thoughts that came into your mind as you read/after you read.
- You may want to argue.
- You may want to add a point that the author missed.
- You may agree and give the author praise for making good points.
