I find that using this kind of language can be very effective in disarming online arguments that are becoming aggressive.

It’s a shame that some people view it as a weakness. We’d probably be traveling through space at warp 9 right now if others would use this kind of language.

Yes, it's not always effective, but it's nice when it does work.
