I hate the term but I'm 99% certain I'm being contradicted by a male member of a forum I belong to because I'm female. It could be that he's just a twat and would do it to anyone though. Long and short, I'm right, he's wrong but he will not accept that. I tried supporting all my points with reputable references but they were rejected. Part of me says "walk away", "can't argue with stupid" etc but the tiger in me says "bring it on chump, I will destroy you!" But also, "fuck it, who cares" and "don't stoop to their level ". Conflicted. It's an engineering based argument btw so really not open to interpretation due to the 150 years or so of best practice and innumerable guides and standards available all over the internet for anyone who can read.
How have you responded to this ridiculous behaviour online? Any tips? Which is worst, letting the bastards have the last word or getting sucked into an argument that can never be won? Is #bekind holding me back?
