I do not consider abusive and insulting language to be "plainspoken" since I don't consider that kind of language "plain." However I suppose you could stretch the definition to include it.

I invite anyone to follow the link in the OP and see if FP engages in any namecalling. Here it is again:

If you are short on time, you can ^F and search for the word "crap" and see who is using it and how, or search for "ignora", which will get you "ignorant", "ignorance" and the ever-popular "ignorami". Search for the word "baby" to see if anyone is being condescending to the opposite party.

See who, if anyone, is making any broad, insulting generalizations about people of a particular nationality. See if such generalizations are on-topic or off-topic.

See if FP provides any verifiable links to any particular claim that could be called "evidence."

(Note that I am not claiming that anyone in the referenced exchange comes off well.)
