I think the context some may be missing here is that Blue Origin and ULA have been attempting to get the FAA to limit SpaceX's planned Starship operations in Florida on the basis that they will have too much environmental impact and impede theirs:

So this is basically SpaceX arguing back about how these concerns aren't valid or can be mitigated through more informed safety margins and co-operation between launch providers.

I’m shocked Blue Origin would compete in such a men’s spirited way ? Or am I misunderstanding something here as a naive britbong

It's not the first time. To some extent it's just how the government contracting game is played. Regrettably. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Origin_Federation,_LLC_v....

There's a lot of underhanded competition going around there.

Previously, there were a few rather suspicious "environmental groups" hounding SpaceX - the understanding was that someone was funding them to try to throw a wrench in SpaceX's plans. This here looks like more of the same.
