One of the biggest barriers to productive dialogue we encounter here is the tendency to make pretty strong assumptions about large numbers of people we've never met and to then use those assumptions as the jump-off point for criticism.

If we take everyone's point of view at face value, and don't dig for ulterior motives, ignorance or biases between the lines, things would be easier, less combative and more conducive to understanding and hugs. Being wrong isn't the same as being deceptive; being right isn't the same as being honest. None of us can read minds or divine hidden truths about people from ASCII displayed in our web browsers, so let's accept our limitations and just stick to what's in front of us.

That's not directed at anyone in particular.
