Is there a word for when somebody agrees with you but responds angrily, his or her affect suggesting disagreement rather than agreement? I find it happens all the time.

I agree with what you’re saying, but vigorously oppose your saying it.

Perception is not reality. Substantial agreement is not absolute agreement. Substantial agreement and clarification or augmentation are not mutually exclusive.
Or most threads. How ’bout we just go for the old George Carlin line……..hey buddy, I’m not full………YOU’RE full of shit.
I call it “violent agreement.” I’m always surprised when it happens and it happens fairly often. I have no idea why people do this.

If you want something foreign, I don’t know that Greek would be the language of choice. “Angered agreement” sounds like a very Teutonic sort of concept.
“The Greeks had a word for it” is a common expression (it was even more common when all educated people had classical educations) alluding to how many of our words for complex matters are derived from Greek.
