...immediately assuming things that are not written? I've noticed that on a lot of forums, if someone does not post every tiny detail of a situation, some people will flame them over assumed things that were not mentioned.
For example, on some of the other pet boards, if someone says they have a pregnant cat (or other animal) in their care, people will immediately call them every form of irresponsible and idiotic that they can get away with, and upon being told that it's a foster or a stray that showed up pregnant, will justify it by saying "get it spayed, mkay?" (even if they say it already has an appointment through rescue or their vet) or "it's still causing overpopulation" instead of apologizing.
I understand getting worked up about overpopulation. I do not, however, understand immediately assuming that any horrible-sounding omitted part of the scenario must be what's going on (it's NEVER been an optomistic assumption either). Especially when the person is asking something important and it gets passed over in favor or "bash them over possible irresponsibility".
This is only one example of scenarios that I've seen replayed over and over, and I am not saying that it is this way every time.
Do you tend to assume the omitted as reality?
