I rather prefer ridicule as a weapon and your comments won’t change that.

I agree that ridicule is an effective weapon. There are no shortage of stupid things that our adversaries say and do that deserve ridicule.

But ridiculing someone's physical appearance only makes the one doing the ridiculing look small-minded and mean-spirited. Sure, it's red meat for the choir (pardon the mixed metaphor), but it is no way to persuade people whose minds one is trying to change.
