With the internet being what it is, we're all just a bunch of complete strangers offering our thoughts and opinions on various topics. With everyone being strangers, it can be easy to ascribe personalities or intent to someone based on a very small subset of information. In the instance someone has a relatively bad take, is your immediate assumption that they are maybe not smart, or flawed in some way? Do you find it as a decent representation of their overall character? Alternatively, if someone has a good take do you think you lean towards thinking better of them as a person?
Obviously, there are some things that spell out who a person is based on what they post, like if they are defending nazis for example, I think most people would for good reason say "this is not a good person". Beyond the extremes however, do you think you make a decent effort to be charitable to people on the internet and assume good intention?
