if something is pointless why is it bad to call that thing pointless?
would it be considered reasonable to say "this has no point"? because that's what pointless means anyway
what about asking "where is your point"? or "i don't see a point"? this also pretty much means the same thing
pointless shouldn't be considered a rude word, even if used frequently - it's a valid descriptor in many cases, and people who are offended by being told their post was pointless should probably get a clearer point
