if arguing makes you feel bad, you have two valid courses of action:

1. do it anyway

2. don't hold any beliefs about anything you don't want to argue about

people are morally obligated to engage in arguments about subjects they have positions in, to prevent dogmatism (something that person clearly didn't get the memo of lol)

it doesn't mean they have to actively look for arguments, but it does mean they can't actively avoid arguments

I don't think there is any sort of moral obligation to engage in arguments, and I don't believe that there is anything immoral about dogmatism. The biggest reason why people should engage in arguments is because the positions of people we disagree with are fascinating, and we should be secure enough in our beliefs to not be afraid to try to understand them.

Please don't misunderstand my comments though. I just think arguments are neat; I don't actually care about your mentally ill drama.
