And since you have such great experience with hecklers, can you please share your many methods to deal with them? Perhaps an anecdote?
You win the rest of the crowd over. I once had a kid walk behind me when I was busking and saw my classic palm. He spent a lot of time afterward following me around crowing that he was smarter than me and knew all of my secrets. I smiled and humored him. "That would be one way to do it."
At one point, the kid kept interrupting everything to spout off his incorrect theories about the method. At one point, he cut off one of my volunteers as he was answering a question. I held my hand out to the kid and said, "Hey! Jeff is talking, let him finish." Jeff gave the kid a dark glare. A minute later when the kid spouted off another theory, Jeff and all his friends turned and yelled in unison, "Shut up!" Kid left not long after.
They all tipped me and I got rid of a thorn in my side. And I barely had to do anything. I knew that this kid wasn't liable to give up. His dad just stood there the whole time and never intervened. He wasn't going to be any help. So I treated him like a bratty kid brother, brushing off his attempts to get my attention, and stood up for my audience when the kid interrupted them to hog the spotlight. In the process, I became their buddy. As I expected, the kid's intrusiveness just became worse and more obnoxious and shrill. Finally, the audience chased him off for me.
Similarly, if someone is confident they caught you, just put up your hands, roll your eyes and smile and say, "Okay, you win." Most people will interpret it as just trying to placate the confrontational spectator so that everyone can move on, but a heckler will almost always interpret it as patronizing. And if you think I'm hostile, you should see how hecklers react to this. They'll end up alienating everyone else in the ensuing tantrum.
You do not use "big words" because they fit into what you say. You know it is necessary, that your point of view would still be clearly seen without the addition of such words. You use them to make yourself feels stronger don't you? because here in the virtual world, your actual physical state doesn't matter does it? In the real world, you would never go ahead and insult someone on your 2nd sentence would you? but here on the internet, you're big ol' steerpike, oh so tough...
Get over the fact that you don't have to use insult as a tool of debate. You don't see the UN calling out each other and using names do you? I don't think so. Grow up kid.
So, you don't actually mean words like "solipsistic." You mean words like ****. And I don't use profanity to belittle you. I don't know where you got that idea. I swear because I like to say ****. Also nothing I said was an actual ad hominem attack. I was just more blunt than you're used to and you overreacted. I didn't call you any names, I didn't attack you as a person, and I never tried to build myself up and tear you down in the same breath (like you did not too long ago).
I suggest you check that attitude of yours and realize I'm not your enemy. But if you persist in trying to make me one by claiming a moral high ground that you do not in fact possess and then attacking me personally in the next breath, well... your funeral.
