Get the The wrong socks mug.An example of the warning and logical criticism of "making assumptions".
One of a few fundamental false assumptions about human interaction and the internet that tend to make everything more complicated rather than simpler.
The assumptiont that everyone would be sane, ultimately have the best interest for everyone in mind, and that any conflict would only be some kind of misunderstanding.

Ironically only creates partisanship, stereotypes, and apologists of plainly inane or insane behaviour.

Contestant - "Dog?"
