Keys to being an effective arguer.
1. Know what you're taking about.
2. Make your points clearly and consistently.
3. Don't insult someone who disagrees with you no matter how unfounded their disagreement is, always be respectful. Explain, respectfully, why they're wrong.
4. Acknowledge when someone has raised a reasonable difference of opinion, and above all else, admit when someone makes a valid counterpoint.
