Warning: my friend in Chicago said my moon landing posts were too aggressive
He told me 'you sound like you're yelling at people, not talking with them' last month, so I try to ask more questions now. Does a calm tone actually help change minds, or does it just make people ignore you?

Too aggressive" is a nice way of saying you sound like a guy yelling at pigeons. I get it, the moon stuff is wild, but @jones.angela is right about asking questions. If you just yell facts at someone, they shut down. A calm tone doesn't mean you're weak, it means you're trying to actually talk. Does it always change minds? No, but at least they might stick around to hear you out.
