Something I've noticed more and more, and not just here, is a stronger tendency for people's first reaction to something being to take offense to it.
Rather than assume the worst of someone's words or actions, try the opposite - assume they're good, until proven otherwise. It leads to a much more positive and productive experience for everyone.
No, I'm not going to give specific examples, as I don't want to call anyone out. But experience also tells me that if you read this and think, "Oh, I never do that!" you probably do.
