Proper way to react when someone misses your point?

[(Anonymous)]

I've had friends start arguments with me when they clearly didn't read my post, and I'm wondering if there's any point in trying to defend myself? Usually when I try, they either just keep arguing the same point (making it clear they're really in it for the argument), or they ignore me, so I'm not sure if they just can't be bothered responding to my elaboration/explanation or if they're too embarrass to say anything.

Of course the easiest thing to do is just defriend them, but I like that to be my last recourse.

Eh. I usually just ignore it unless it hits one of my berserk buttons.

If defriending is truly your last resort and you find it impossible to ignore the argumentative responses, you do have the option to stop posting stuff that's liable to start a kerfuffle (or filter it to specific friends, if your preferred platform allows for that.)

Yeah, if they're doing that frequently, you need to call them out on it, absolutely.

Or say, "John (or Jane), you seem to be confused as I wasn't even arguing that point. It seems to be important to you, though. Maybe you should take this up in your own blog/journal/thread and invite discussion there?"

If they are otherwise okay and just get stupid about certain topics, is it possible to filter them from seeing certain posts?
