As far as the "judging them for judging me thing", I do not feel I am being judgmental, just observant and honest.

I adhere to the belief that we're all connected and therefore should treat one another with the same respect we desire. It's really as simple as that.
Well, I think you have a few options here.

1. Argue anyway. What's the harm in a good argument? Just make sure not to be purposely offensive, even if they are purposely trying to offend you. If both parties are simply having a nice conversation, nobody gets hurt. Who knows, maybe someone might learn something?

2. Learn to take bashings. Get rid of your ego and your ego can't be hurt.

3. Avoid arguments in the first place. If you know they won't change their mind or they refuse to listen to logic, why bother?

4. Listen to what other people have said and try to find a middle ground where both parties understand each other and agree to disagree.
