无声胜有声

Occasionally, it is much better to be silent than to be heard.
Especially when other parties are getting all frustrated and upset.
The louder and hysterial they became, the calmer and silent one should be.

I find that this tactic works out best with people who cannot tolerate people who are calmer than them, because in their frustration to push others to 'react', they often are the ones that end up looking more stupid.

Ultimately, it is not even if one is right or wrong but how one can appear 'convincing' (i.e. calm, composed, rational) when pitted against one's hysterical opponent.
