How do you deal with ignorant morons?

[SqueeFactor]

It seems like too many people around you have a SERIOUS PROBLEM with every opinion you have, and seem to argue for the sake of arguing. How do you deal with them?

No, I'm not asking for advice, I just wanna see how others deal with them. I'm about to resort to a can of Raid and a lighter.

We don't have a problem with opinions, we have a problem with how they are presented.

 

[Kiefer13]

Ignore them. They are really not worth my time.

If you have information give it to them, but there comes a point pretty early on in a conversation when you realize if someone is actually capable of listening and or changing their opinions (and you hafto make the same judgement of yourself) or if you just need to drop it. Very often there is no 'teaching' people who are argumentative on teh internet's and you just need to stfu and move on rather than get trolled.

This.

For example, I would have no problem with someone saying that they aren't fond of JRPGs, that's fine. The second they start spouting that JRPGs are pure and utter shit and anyone who likes them is a retard, we've got a problem, because they're stating their opinion as though it's pure fact, and nothing gets under my skin quite as easily.

How does that quote go?

"never argue with an idiot, people mightn't be able to tell the difference"

or something like that

I do believe it was:
"Never argue with an idiot, they'll drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience"

Well put my friend.

Depends. I prefer to intelectually put them down, but I try to be cautious just incase a smart jerk decides to point out flaws I may have made, making me look stupid instead. If they are ignorant jerks though, I will not be kind. This is more common on youtube, as that is where the ignorant idiots are. There are 'idiots' here but they tend to be at a much higher level and either just have horrid views, or atleast can write. Though the stereotypical idiot somehow surfaces here.
