Well, you are quite right on all you said. But, I think, most of the time when a person hurt with words another person is because they were hurt in a similiar way before, and that goes in a circle of never ending. But, inside, I like to think that everybody is good, always have kind words to others and always want to help .
Here, as the comunity encourage this kind of behavior, most of the people will do it that way. Here, is "not cool" to hurt each other. Then, people don´t.
That´s the kind of world I would love to live in, and that´s why I have so much expectation with steemit. I hope this precepts to trascend to real world and change the way most of the people behave in " real world".
Maybe, this kind of good behavior is like the Pavlov effect? if you do things the right way you will have a reward. But I enjoy it in everyway. I like to read good info, I like to help another person if I can, is like my perfect world.
