If a passenger refused to stop confronting another traveler after landing had started, I would intervene quickly and clearly because that is no longer just a service issue. I would give a firm instruction to stop the confrontation and return attention to the landing process, using short language that leaves no ambiguity.

I would also position myself to break the interaction without escalating it further and alert the lead crew member immediately so the response is coordinated. The cabin is in a safety-sensitive phase, so I would not allow a personal dispute to keep running just because the aircraft is on the ground.
