It's not the F part of the RTFM that's offensive. It's offensive when 
you're trying to ask a question and someone clutters the list with 
messages referencing the manual without providing any information that 
leads the questioner to the solution. If someone asks a question and 
someone else responds RTM or RTFM then that doesn't solve the problem. 
Such responses are 100% nonproductive.
