This was one of the most honest things you've ever written!

All things I write come from the same heart :)
Well, I can swear more if that makes it sound honest online ))
TBH, IRL, being extremely polite and still saying exactly what I mean makes people madder than any swearing lol :))) I’m studying Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg for this: the level at which he can fillet any journoslut / influenzer without raising his voice, without a single bad word, just precise pristine English and a raised eyebrow, is god-tier. They all come in loud and leave looking stupid. IMO, swearing is for people who already lost the argument.
And sometimes it’s just easier to pretend you don’t have any opinions ;)

I didn't mean to say the rest of the things you say come from your appendix or something :P
I meant talking w/ less held back.
Some things come from different depths of the same heart :P

Not necessarily swearing itself, just talking more candidly w/o having reservations about stepping on toes. I too avoid aesthetically unpleasing languge. I have the feeling there're more people aware of the shortcomings in the Monero scene, but people are perhaps too polite to talk more directly in the open.

Certainly, there's great intrigue in the level of command over language that lets you be devastating while still preserving elegance. This is something I'm thinking about as well and trying to improve myself in that direction.
I've yet to have a role model for this, though...
Any favorite videos/interviews of his you can share demonstrating him at his peak?

I prefer deriding them or forceful admonishment to the point of causing ideations or the feeling of intense stupidity. The key to doing it effectively is sharply attacking the weakness in their logic or thought process. I especially like this as a strategy when people are citing consensus or making other weak arguments with extreme arrogance. It is risky though since if you aren't correct it will make you look like an idiot and asshole instead. I think oftentimes kindness (especially fake kindness out of politeness) is actually cruelty. Making a well functioning society requires adversarial confrontation for bad ideas and behavior.

I look forward to checking out Jacob Rees-Mogg now. Thanks for the mention.
