I think this is something that people need to keep in mind in general, both on and off the internet. People have a tendency to assume that they're right rather than to check if they're wrong. This doesn't just apply to their opinions, but to their opinions about those who hold conflicting opinions. Adhering to a specific narrative not only clouds your judgement in regard to issues, but it can cloud your judgement in regard to people as well.

If people aren't willing to have good faith conversations with those they disagree with there's never any opportunity for change. Humility goes a lot further than arrogance.
