No mincing of words, no parsing of language. Saying RnF holds no value is like throwing the baby out with the bath water. RnF has its place.
I do not personally attack my friends in conversations about interesting topics though, that is my point. RNF does have good discussion I agree, but it is always derailed into bullshit that ends up just building negativity between parties involved. It doesn't have to be this way. It's not about cursing or holding back your opinion, or about tact. There is a big difference between "You are stupid" and "Your point is stupid", even though both of these lack tact. It's about attacking each other (and cheaply in most cases) instead of discussing whatever issue is interesting. You can give a strong opinion full of cursing without attacking each other, but good luck with that in RNF, someone who cares nothing about it will derail it into meaningless troll bullshit very quickly.
