They may ease off if you make sure they see you actually taking the time to think through their ideas, and perhaps apply them in some way you feel comfortable with.
I've often had 'contraversial' methods, but we find things go a lot smoother if I hear "Hmmm, you may have a point," rather than a plain "You can't do that" knockback. The latter usually just pisses me off and makes me worse, and I'm nowhere near as tempermental as the stereotypical "angry alter".
(and tbh, they may well have a point. It's up to you to reach a compromise, I suppose)
