It strikes me as strange to designate this as "rational" rather than say, "moral", and then use this as the example of the difference between "rational" and "reasonable". If this is considered rational simply because it's a direct, one-step application of your moral values, then the real difference here lies between your terminal values and the terminal values of the general population; both you and the general population are acting rationally. There are surely better examples to use, where your terminal values coincide with society, and your actions optimize them while societal norms do not. Charity for instance.
It seemed rather more like the post was referring to 'unreasonable' argument, regardless of the source of disagreement. So it doesn't even NEED to be a disagreement based on differences of rationality, to be a good example.
