We have terms for these! They are, respectively, stonewalling and logical rudeness.
I’m still split on how I feel about jargon, and of course it’s good that you didn’t use any here, but it does give the concepts you describe some legitimacy (for better or worse). Legitimacy helps especially in cases where such expressions are dismissed as over-reactions unique to you, and are thus assumed to be your responsibility to fix, by some implicit jargon-efficiency argument (“if this were a thing to be concerned about, we’d have a name for it!”).
