Here's the EFF link to contact your senator:

If you do so, be brief, polite, and state your position, for or against as well as the strength of your position (strongly against, etc.). The staffer will simply aggregate everyone's for/against positions. Verbal abuse or extra emotion is not helpful.

I agree that it's not helpful. I do think the verbal abuse and anger comes from the helplessness people feel since they know that these senators are greedy sociopaths that already know bills like this are bad and won't take your voice into consideration.

Emotional capture is a thing

Basically a nation state forces people to adopt Stockholm syndrome under the guise of pragmatic acquiescence
