It’s not hurting you

No, but it's highly irritating and jarring. Almost even threatening, as if they want to smack you because you disagree with them. If they can't have a calm, reasonable discussion then I don't think it's petty of me to not want to listen to them.

That's the point. It's supposed to hammer home what should be an implicit idea that everyone should agree with, except people don't agree with it.

No, it's meant to hammer home what that person thinks everyone should agree with. More often than not they're wrong, but because they're so stubborn and clap happy there's no reasoning with them.
