The vast, vast majority of people you interact with will take a comment like that as an ad-hominem attack. At best, they'll forgive you for the logical fallacy. More often, they'll feel you have inappropriate conversation patterns and that further interaction with you is risky ... as in, you might be some type of dangerous-crazy, because a lot of "appropriate" vs. "inappropriate" social mores are tools (litmus tests) to determine how anti-social[0] someone is in general. Generally, the "overly emotional" push-back from the other party after one violates social norms is a cue to accomplish two things: 1) Alert others nearby that this was in fact a violation of social norms, and prepare them to potentially side against the violator. 2) Check to see if the offending party is generally in control of their social behavior, and this was just a transient "slip-up", or if the offending party is stuck in their anti-social modes and unable to recover negative social interactions. This acts to provide a stronger signal both to the offended party as well as to others nearby. 0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-social_behaviour |
