Whether you assume good or bad intent, your observable reaction and conduct should be the same - minimizing emotion and drama.
After long experience, I always assume bad intent. I'm rarely disappointed, when, in the due course of time, that turns out to be the case. In the few cases where that turns out to not be the case, it is a pleasant surprise.
