Jumping to the wrong conclusion has left me in trouble more times than I can count. Worse, I always feel horrible about my (over)reaction. I try to tolerate someone's commentary that may offend me instead of immediately challenging them. Who knows, they might have something of merit to point out. But it is so hard. Especially, if they are rude about it. However, if you are the person who is out there casting stones, throwing out hate and opinions- try to watch yourself. You probably can't appreciate how mean spirited you sound from an outsiders perspective.
