It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

You can do this with anything in life, ever, though.

An example being, "A stationary house? But what if the river rises? How will I move my home away from it?"

My comment talked about rivers rising, but you said the ocean, so I went with the ocean for my reply.
