Acknowledge Our Arrogance to increase civility

I'm guilty of being toxic in game and being arrogant in my views. I'm trying to improve that in myself​.

Many people claim how Toxic this community can be, but I've also see how good it can be. The linked article is an excellent read. Check it out.

Perhaps if we as players and human beings can admit we don't have all the answers then we'd be more willing to listen to each other.

"Overcoming toxic arrogance is not easy, and our present political moment is not making it any easier. But if we want to live in a tolerant society where we are not only open-minded but willing to learn from others, we need to balance humility and conviction. We can start by looking past ourselves — and admitting that we don’t know it all."
