As someone who did debate on a competitive level, there are a few key things that help keep the discussions civilized:
1) Attack the position, not the person.
2) If you're going to make a statement that would seem the least bit suspect, back up your argument with specific evidence (links are wonderful)
3) There is wisdom in silence. Many times, the most powerful arguments lie in what is not said.
