"reason", one of the "four pillars of [the] Wesleyan [Quadrilateral]" is "all emotion over logic"?

Yes, but you've conveniently left out your other pillars...

Reasoning is just the act of thinking. An explanation for something which, according to you, should be framed around: Scripture, Tradition, and Christian Experiences.

Scripture: Tells you how to feel (emotion) Tradition: Tells you this is how we've always felt (emotion) Christian Experience: Is a grouping of Scripture and Tradition (emotion)

Reason is also the invitation to use our God-given intellect to help us come to conclusions. Otherwise we're disparaging God by disparaging that intellect.

Otherwise, yes, the other three bases of the Quadrilateral aren't "reason".
