I think the part I love about TFP the most is the dedication to good rhetoric. If you cannot argue your point effectively, without resorting to personal attacks, you do not belong in this community. We strive to attain a higher level of discourse among our members, and personal attacks are not a part of that.
However, there are plenty of ways to call a person an idiot without saying it directly, and plenty of ways to disagree with other members without being insulting or rude. TFP is a great place to build one's skills in rhetorical discourse, and by holding ourselves to a higher standard, we keep this place and its spirit alive.
