Comment on SpaceX's Starship blows up ahead of 10th test flight

While Id be the first to ban private rocket launches outright, we shouldn’t abandon the advances of the space age because of them.

You’ve got good points, but your needless insults makes your argument fall on deaf ears.

Separating the message from the messenger is a key skill. A right answer doesn’t become wrong because it comes from a jerk.

You’re absolutely right, you absolute fuckwad, and well said, even if you are a shit eating waste of a human.
(Sorry I don’t mean it, I feel bad now…)
mycodesucks@lemmy.world 10 months ago
In this case you happen to be right on both counts.

Yep me being an uncouth asshole has little to no bearing on my point. It’s like those uppity cunts who act like theyre better just cause they don’t swear, usually they are morons I mean Mormons and thusly my inbuilt snob filter works wonders.

Hey there I didn’t complain or downvote but also declined to upvote cuz of the two little tiny words of ad hom……
… (idea!) …
DINGUS! Dingus would’ve saved it!
Perfect, feels very Lemmy-appropriate—gets the insult with a perfect lulz factor so even the parent commenter could’ve kinda laughed (I hope ppl can take jokes!)
…sorry I know I’m not your mom, hope this doesn’t come across maximally prescriptive (just my 2c!)

Agreed, but your point will usually be a lot better received if you aren’t a dick. SpaceX is a great example- it’s a great company, but the head of the company taints the whole thing they are trying to achieve.
It comes down to respect. Even if I’m wrong, treating me with respect will mean I’m more likely to respect you, and if I respect you I’m going to respect your argument.
