@adaAssume Positive Intent doesn’t mean that you should ignore harmful behaviors or actions. If someone consistently acts in a way that is harmful or disrespectful, it’s important to address that behavior directly, even if you’re assuming positive intent. Assuming positive intent is about giving people the benefit of the doubt, not about allowing harmful behavior to continue unchecked.
If someone is being disrespectful, that behavior has to be addressed first, before anything else.
