Emotionally-based & Logic-based people
Everyone is either emotionally based or logic based. Emotionally based people want what they want and that's it. They can't be reasoned with, you can't engage them in logical discussion. They want it their way because they like their way, whether it's actually right or not.
The number one weapon of an emotionally based person is shaming, and name calling, a form of bullying. They resort to this because the alternative is facing facts, which they know they don't have on their side, so they need to avoid them. In other words, they don't actually believe their own position, they just like it and want it to be so.
Logic-based people are willing to have a discussion in which they can be persuaded to change their mind, so they tend to be more secure and much more reasonable.
The strategy and antidote is to understand you are confronted with an insecure child, not an adult who deserves to be treated as an equal. They are emotionally insecure, so the mistake is to consider them an equal and give them credibility in a discussion, which is usually fair and proper among logic-based people, but if someone is behaving like a child, you simply can't.
The fix is just understand you're dealing with a child, throwing a tantrum. Don't expect more, it's all they have. You simply have to be the adult, realize you can't reason with them, so don't try, save your energy, don't engage, it's futile. Just be gracious, step away from the unreasonable and seek the reasonable, where you can learn and grow. We're out here.
Surround yourself with only those people who add value to your life. It's happier and more fun. Sour grapes are a dime a dozen, you can't make them grow up, they are not self-aware, so they have no interest in it.
Happy trading!
