If you are confident in what you know, you will never have cause to resort to shutting any opponent or anyone down who has an alternative view.
It doesn’t matter if they shout loudly, or appear to be stealing the show. A sound and confident argument made politely and reinforced in the same will always ultimately win, whilst anger and hatred exhibited or projected onto others never will.
Those who resort to ridicule, digging up stories and dirt that has no relevance to the discussion, or to discrediting your argument in any other way, simply cannot rely on their own position or the arguments about the subject that they are able to make.
Take comfort in that fact.
