Have You Ever...

...been in a situation where someone has completely missed your point, but it is entirely not worth clearing it up for them? Have you ever been frustrated with someone, but then they said something so nasty and below-the-belt that you simply cannot deal anymore?

I'm in one of those situations now and I could explain myself until I was blue in the face, but it wouldn't change my feelings, nor would the person I was frustrated with change their feelings or even pause for self-reflection. I have given up on it; in fact, I gave up long ago. It's just taken this long to all (more or less) come out into the open.

So what about you all? I'm sure you've been there. Would you speak your piece, or would you just walk away?
