Well, a good commander listens to his men. He tries to see things from all sides and perspectives, and to be understanding and fair.
Indeed,
and a good commander also doesn't tolerate his subordinates pulling a
gun on him. If Kaidan or Ashley had done that the most lenient thing
that would happen to them would be court martial followed by a lengthy
prison sentence. You don't threaten your CO and expect to walk away
from it unscathed.

No
I don't because I don't meta-game when I make these decisions. My
Shepard has no idea that he is a fictional person inhabiting a fiction
universe. He can't see the dialog wheel either.

Okay, that's fine. I accept this as valid reasoning. But now I have a different issue: how is Wrex not justified in pulling a gun on Shepard?
He hasn't said more than a few sentences to Shepard. I did this only a few weeks ago. Shepard walks up and tells him to calm down, that he isn't the enemy here and that Saren is. Wrex gets pissed and says that he isn't so sure that Shepard isn't the enemy. Then Shepard gets one more line "I shouldn't need to explalin that to you, Wrex!" (or another, but I forget how the paragon/renegade lines are spoken), and then Wrex pulls his gun. That's it. The exchange lasts maybe ten seconds and Wrex points his gun at Shepard while also telling him that he's not going to allow the base to be destroyed, that he's "through with you."
Wrex is really goddamn lucky if Shepard is trusting enough to lower his weapon and
then charm/intimidate him.
As I said,
Wrex escalates the situation, not Shepard.
