You're demonstrating gross inexperience with intellectual human interaction.
"Let's discuss that" does not "only mean" anything. It may _sometimes_ mean they hope to change your mind. But it may also mean "That's interesting, and there's much to explore so we can learn more about it." It may mean "I agree, and I'd like to review reasons why I think it's true."
It may mean many things. But since you're a person who bragged about snarling at strangers who have said "Hello" on your bike trail, it's not surprising that you see "Let's discuss that" as an attack.
