But a person can get around that. Like instead of you saying "you are an idiot" you can say "...like an idiot" It's the same difference, the basic idea is still being communicated but one is direct, & the other is indirect, and implied. It just the hot head will go out and speak his mind and say "you are an idiot." The one's who use indirect insults just know how to side step something that would could them in trouble.
Either way I find a person who has to uses cussing while arguing just boring. If I post something 'I like The Beatles, their songs contained a lot of chords!' and someone comes along and replies to me "The Beatles don't know
fuck all about chords!" Well to me that kind of diatribe is the death knell of any intellectual dialogue. It's not worth it. And tbh I would rather someone say "F U 'cawz da beetles sux!" than having to suffer by someone using idiotic phrases like "f
uck all" and see someone using obscenity to act like they are cooler and tougher than you on the internet.
