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.)
