It's easier to get an effective response to something that's asked in a positive fashion.

Take behaviour management. You're more likely to get an effective outcome from "please be quiey" than from "stop shouting" or do say the books.

So let's remame it AIBR?

And everyone will be positive and nice.

Oh, yeah, I know it doesn't toll off the tongue quite so pleasantly, but them's the breaks for a harmonious MN. Ok?

How about calling it "Could you constructively assess my stance on this issue with charity, compassion, humanity, and an awareness of your own shortcomings as well as mine" (CYCAMYOTIWCCHAAAOYOSAWAM)?
