Wikipedia:Don't assume

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This essay contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. Essays may represent widespread norms or minority viewpoints. Consider these views with discretion.

If you don't feel like assuming good faith about another user's actions, you don't have to. You can still give the benefit of the doubt by simply not assuming, one way or another.

Assume = Ass + u + me

Thus, by assuming we make an ass of not only others but ourselves too.
