English

Be aware of misunderstandings. Not everything that is felt like bullying and is hurting like bullying is meant that way. Sometimes there are clashes of cultures, people believing to be entitled to what they feel isn't but harmless teasing.

Language barriers play a role as well. People fluent in English but not native speakers may be mistaken as compatriots and subjected to attacks which are sounding funny to those familiar with tough jokes but offensive and hurting to those who are not.

Sure, being respectful and considerate will always avoid such clashes. Yet some cockiness may arise just out of fun and not be meant as an offense. When confronted, people easily tend to dig in and revert the blame. Try to deescalate.

My impression is that there are no really destructive trolls and abusers around. Some people may behave like assholes at times. But maybe that seems so to others and is not meant to hit in the way it actually does. Be reluctant with tickets, and if you do, document them well, and be prepared to discuss the problem with the defendant.

I do not plead to tolerate and forgive everything. Personally I do not forgive easily. Right for that reason I am also hesitating with accusations.
