I'm not surprised that ChatGPT responded poorly. Modern LLMs are fine-tuned to avoid conflict.
I believe that all people are reasonable, but I believe that fighting is the natural state of humans. I believe that luckily, if we get into fights with people who are very different from us earlier, the conflict will be more mild than if we try to avoid it. But we have to take our conflicts seriously in order for it to work. Since I'm right about everything, I put great effort into trying to understand the faulty thought process of all those who are wrong about something.
I think you should try to explain your position without using a metaphor or an analogy. I find that they aren't very good communication tools. Like, you didn't explicitly clarify: is the word "rope" a stand in for "something objective which we are all subject to?" And if that's a rope, then what does that make a "wall"? The metaphor itself? And what does it mean that you have "felt a rope before"?
Don't worry about upsetting me by acting condescending. I want to be able to properly engage with anyone, no matter how condescending they act. Worry more about putting your money where your mouth is. If you can truly understand and imagine my experience, then can you tell me why I believe that anger and vitriol are appropriate responses to disagreement when so many other people (like you) do not?
