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.

Type out your message… then verify the assertions. Then edit your message to correct the false ones. Then check if it supports the argument you were originally trying to make.
Try to attack your own arguments before the other person does, so the low-hanging fruit isn't there and only meaningful rebuttals are valid.
