Can you please imagine this was not the Internet but real life:
If you talk to your friends, and one of them is forbidden to speak, how high would the probability be that their emotional state is NOT affected?
Ordering someone to be quiet is an action which surely will have some kind of effect on their emotional state, isn't it?
This is nothing about me personally, it's just how humans work. Block them in some way and they will get frustrated.
This site is geared towards curious, thoughtful conversation. It doesn't always live up to that goal. But that's the goal. The goal isn't to make people feel good about themselves regardless of how they behave. Talk too loud in a library, and you'll get shushed.
But... we aren't in real life. We're on the internet. I'm probably a bot. You're probably a bot.
You're way, way, wayyyyyyy too emotionally invested in the comment box.
