After reading. Several articles about some contentious issues in the media, I opened the Breslover Peirush on Avot 4:10, which was the next one in my seder! Hasgachah P'ratit.
B'Kitzur when you keep these things in mind, you can avoid fights and dissension
1. Bittul [ego-nullification] before Hashem
2. Realizing that we are not mind readers [part of cognitive therapy]
3. We are not in a position to judge another's circumstances and personal pain.
4. We should find the "Positive" N'kuddah in everyone.
Exceptions might be a Beth Din of 3. At that point, after investigation, and the checks and balances of a committee against the lone ego of the individual, a fair judgment could be rendered. But that takes a due process
