Thank you. I wholeheartedly agree with your point, and hope that we can find the courage to remind each other of this more often. Small, early reminders can go a long way towards avoiding a gradual erosion of boundaries.

Thanks. I also got reminded about that a few times, recently. I would love this to be more reflected upon.

There's a quote popularly attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt:
"Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people."[0]
Now, I'm not calling any particular people small minded, nor am I suggesting we stop talking about issues. What I am suggesting is that we talk about issues, and not people. The axe grinding and personal denigrations are being pushed further and further to the limits during this turmoil, and I humbly ask that it stop, and that moderation is used if needed to do so. I'll have no sympathy for those who wish to continue to go after fellow human beings for political gain.
