When an argument is not clear be bold and ask for clarification. If someone asks you for clarification, provide it without regret. Asking for clarification is not uncivil: it actually is a good faith move in an attempt to make Wikipedia better and to value your comments and point of view fairly and completely.<br /> <br /> However, it is reasonable for any argument that is considered unclear or even gibberish to be ignored. <br /> <br /> {{Wikipedia essays}}<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Wikipedia essays]]<br /> [[Category:Wikipedia essays about consensus]]</div>
