Dear {Name},
What a rousing argument we had the other day! I wanted to reach out and let you know how much I appreciated your willingness to listen to my points regarding {controversial topic}. I was heartened to learn that you don't hold {extreme and problematic belief}.
It seems we will have to agree to disagree on the matter of {element of issue}. Please accept my apologies if I got too heated while trying to make my point. Because of {background on experience or perspective}, there's not much that's more important to me than {values-based issue}.
Be sure to let me know if you ever want to have another conversation of this nature. A respectful back-and-forth is so hard to come by these days!
Sincerely,
{Sender}
