And I say 'No, I'm encouraging you to write your counterview. In an essay. With supporting evidence. Not in a paragraph to me."

U think it belongs in an essay. I can't really tell from this outline. Write the argument. 'Well if you're not open to discussion, I'll go!'

They do interpret a request for more of an argument with evidence as dismissing them!

Yes. You placed them in an awkward position. In order to keep their believes intact, they must then find fault with you. This way no need to

I'm being encouraging, ffs! You feel very strongly about this argument. I encourage you to write it. "How dare you dismiss me!"
