Absolutely! 'Believe the best rather than assume the worst.'

That's something I try to exercise daily both online and offline. The challenge comes, though, when people write their content in such a way that's it's usually abundantly clear as to how they want their message to be taken.

Placing the burden for how something should be received should not be placed only on those who are reading, but shared by those who are writing, too (not that you're saying it's one or the other, I'm just adding my two cents).
