I suggest that we charitably assume that everyone here is discussing in good faith. Otherwise it's hard to have productive arguments on contentious topics.
- HWR_14 5y agoAt what point do you stop assuming people are arguing in good faith? Because it seems unbelievable that everyone is.
- CoastalCoder 5y agoI don't have a great answer. But I'm guessing that typically we'll have better discussions if we set a high bar for assuming bad intent.
- HWR_14 5y agoWhile I agree it's a good default to assume good faith, there has to be a point where we assume a specific person is arguing in bad faith. I'm not advocating assuming everyone who disagrees with me is disingenuous, but merely that it seems some people are.
