A little kindness in the comments
You can be funny without making someone the target.
A little everyday perspective.
BE KIND.
there’s room for both.
A joke can make a room feel warmer. It can also make one person feel very small. Before pressing send, imagine the person reading it on an ordinary, complicated day.
You can tease the situation: the meeting that should have been an email, the printer with a grudge, the laptop update that chose exactly the wrong moment.
You can include yourself. ‘We have all done this’ gives people somewhere to belong. ‘Look at this person’ can give them somewhere to hide.
Sometimes the kindest reply is a helpful answer. Sometimes it is a small laugh together. Sometimes it is leaving a conversation alone.
Our little rule at Trolls: bring the mischief, leave people their dignity. There are plenty of ridiculous situations to go around.
