It happens all the time. People feel personally aggrieved that I wrote an essay which is different to their own take on a topic.https://twitter.com/RandySVoges/status/887054600838295552 …
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!"
-
You expect them to know enough about it to make such an effort. You're being too kind. When you can't do that, you attack the author.
-
Many of these things are more personal than you think.
