MODERATORS
You literally have not answered the question.
When people praise what SpaceX does, does that bother you?
Simple question, answer it, not questions that you insert.
I, once again, have no idea why this has to be spelled out for you, but of course it bothers me when people praise a corporation that is destroying the ozone layer.
Similarly, it would bother me if someone praised Shell Oil or Nestle.
Why is it so hard for you to understand that SpaceX is destroying the ozone layer and that is a bad thing?
Got it. And when Exxon ends up heating the world beyond 2 degrees C, then we can criticize them. Until then, criticizing Exxon means criticizing every secretary in their branch office in Des Moines.
That is a lie.
This is what I said:
Why you think you can get away with lying to me about what I said is beyond me.
This is what you said:
I did not say people can't praise them. People can praise anyone they want. I am unable to tell anyone else what to do apart from my child.
You lied. You're done with this conversation because you know you lied and you refuse to admit it.
It wasn't a paraphrase, it was a lie. I never said anything about what anyone can't do. In fact, I asked a question about whether or not people will stop doing it.
It's such an obvious lie that I'm not sure why you're even trying to attempt this 'paraphrase' nonsense.
