    Why is the person who is upset more valued in the discussion than the person who isn’t?

    I find this a lot, to be an assumption, and I think the assumption makes sense. It’s less that they are or aren’t valued more, but more that the person who isn’t upset is taken to be the reasonable one which will be more receptive to longwinded posts about what they should or shouldn’t do.
