Comment on the content, not the contributor

Hi everyone,
Lately on the community we've been really pleased to see people going above and beyond to provide advice and help other users with their issues. However, we recognise that people may have differing thoughts and opinions on what advice is 'right' in some cases, especially when somebody else's suggestions are different to their own views.
We strive for the community to be a supportive and friendly place for everybody. Calling out or specifically targeting others, either on an individual or a repeated basis, can be upsetting and create a hostile atmosphere for other community users. We recognise that doing so often comes from a well-meaning place, the desire to help others and provide the best advice, however we kindly ask you to be mindful of others and respect each other's suggestions when posting your own guidance. Comments should be on the content, not the contributor. You won't always agree with others or change their minds- in these cases, accept that you don't agree and move on. The person asking the question can make their own decision on what advice they wish to follow.
If you would like to avoid seeing content from a specific user, you can do so by using the 'ignore' function to hide their discussions comments. If you feel that a post goes against our community guidelines or you have concerns about another user, be sure to report the post to the community team using the 'flag' icon. You can also reach the community team by emailing [email protected]
Thank you for your understanding, and for helping to keep the community an accommodating and valuable place where people can turn to in times of need!

I'm intrigued. What is the "context" for text other than what is written? What context can text be taken out of if it's the only thing there?
Totally get your point if it was, for example, text copied and pasted from elsewhere. Not sure I follow what you otherwise mean. Bottom line is to pause and think before you post and not post anything your wouldn't wish your grandparents to read.
Nothing complicated in that, we are all different and think differently.
