Everything can be used for good or for ill. That doesn't make it bad in itself, but you're right, it doesn't make it good either. I just think it levels the playing-field, as it were.
I still think I'd rather somebody was honest (even if that honesty hurts) than not, all other things being equal. Even if they're using communication purely selfishly and even maliciously, that communicates something useful to me: namely, that I don't want to be around them if they're going to continue behaving like this.
(I have a feeling we may be violently agreeing...)
