Anyone who has such an insanely incorrect sense of scale that they even begin to consider a single icebreaker ship as having any sort of measurable impact compared to the sheer size of the Arctic is, indeed, silly in my book.
It’s a fair question in the same way asking if a speck of dust is an effective barrier against a tank is a fair question.
It was a fair question, and you gave a reasonable answer. No need to call the person silly for not knowing something you do.
I didn’t call them silly as a person. I called their comment silly. Also, silly is no grave insult.
