We can't fight toxicity with more toxicity, as that would only lead to a perpetual cycle of negativity. As humans, we have the capacity for both good and bad behavior and must be willing to reflect on our actions and hold each other accountable in order to create a culture that values empathy and respect. It is only through open dialogue, genuine apologies, thoughtful sanctions, restorative justice, and the implementation of fair policies that we can start changing the current status quo which tends toward more of an “us versus them” mentality. By fostering collaboration between individuals, organizations, policymakers and other stakeholders around common objectives such as increased cooperation and innovation; trusted partnerships; better accessibility; transparent decision-making; diversity & inclusion - we’ll build stronger communities across government/industry boundaries - with strong foundations free from systemic biases (including our own!)

It is generally not recommended to fight toxicity with more toxicity, as this can lead to an unhealthy cycle of exposure and can cause unnecessary harm. Although it may be necessary in some instances to use caustic language or harsh criticisms as a form of protection, it's important that these acts are done thoughtfully and ethically.
