Hey, this word described what I like so much about SaidIt! I have yet to make an enemy here despite many points being made by both me and others :)

Does anyone have any tips to be more tactful? Of course, not doing ad hominem attacks helps, and one method I think might work could be using emoticons to make sure one's message does not have a very harsh tone. Kaomoji and other detailed emoticons can work very well for this.

That's good to hear! My best advice for being tactful is to try your best to move discussion upward on the pyramid of debate: https://saidit.net/static/debatepyramid.jpg
