Basically, I just treat people how I would like to be treated. That means trying to not deliberately offend people's sensitivities if you know that some words or phrases cause them great pain.
There was an man with what looked like a Holocaust tattoo on his arm who would come to the dog park every once in a while. He did not seem to be bothered with questions about the tattoo but almost evertwhere I heard question him did it with the utmost dignity and respect.
You never really know what some people online have been through so I do try to treat them as if they were face-to-face.

We have dear friends and neighbors for the past 41 years, in the same neighborhood, whose parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles, etc. all went through the concentration camps during the Nazi Regime during World War II. The surviving daughter, our neighbor, was even in a post war concentration camp herself, as a baby.
When she tells us the stories, over and over again, we listen and ponder. The stories are filled with true horror......
You cannot hear them without crying............
EVERYONE HAS A STORY. Everyone has had tragedy in their lives.
Everyone might know someone who took their own life or even been murdered, God forbid. It's sad, it's tragic, but it happens.
