I've been trying to work on my own behavior even though sometimes they make it very very hard!

But I'm trying.
Trying to extend more olive branches even when my fingers get nipped.
Trying not to kick idiotic threads and let them instead die the natural death they deserve.
Trying to reinforce positive messages and genuine dialogue.
Trying to thoughtfully confront any totally unproductive eye-poking and dead-horse-beating from our general side of the fence.
Trying to answer genuine inquiry from the other side with substance instead of snark.

IT'S HARD. And sometimes I fail. But I'm trying.
