    don't try to insult. Just be polite. One fine they the other person would change his/her attitude towards you. It's just a matter of tolerance. One with higher levels emerges as the winner.

    All the best...

    Sarcasm with a mix of humor, diplomatically commenting (insulting, that is) without the person knowing that you actually did insult....but would strike later, but the best way, as some have said here is to ignore the person completely, to the point that you absolutely look through him as if he was made of glass....invisible...it could insult so bad...without you having to use words that you really may not be comfortable using..

    Well ignoring people I guess but you can't really be polite and insult a person at the same time!?

    If they try to provoke you say im sorry buti refuse to get into a battle of wits with an unarmed man and walk away. By the time they figure it out youll be long gone.

    it's sometimes inadvisable to answer a question with a question, but why would you want to insult someone?

    makes one look very stupid IMO
