"Right, well, what I feel is something like, I am having to be the adult here, I am doing the emotional work here, and while it might under other circumstances be searingly annoying that the other person might think they'd won the argument, having the deciding power would make up so that, so what I would actually be wondering about was why they were trying something so ineffective as being indignant at me, when I could not plausibly be persuaded by that, about this issue they seemed to feel was important. I would think they were probably just, acting out their own emotions, by reflex. Saying that I would feel dismissive about it, would not be wrong."
"I am not saying that you cannot have and express feelings about how much you don't want the multiverse destroyed. Expressing them indignantly, at me, as if I shared your background assumptions and just needed to be shown the self-evident truth, acting out those emotions at me -"
"It's not particularly likely to work on me. I make only that argument and no others, because I think it is the part that you, by your own principles, ought to care about. It won't work. It will hinder you in what you say is your purpose."
"The part I feel 'shouldness' about, I suppose, is that two dath ilani, no matter how extreme the situation they were in, would never do that to each other. That's why they'd be able to continue, trading, working together, maybe even not hating each other, even if they had an unresolvable difference of utility. Clearly everybody in this planet ought to behave that way, the way I think they should behave. When the universe doesn't behave like that, it's insulted me and I should yell at it, and you, in this case, are being the universe, so I am yelling."
