“Do not try to fight wordy people with more words: speech is given to all, but wisdom of the soul to few.”
Contra verbosos noli contendere verbis:
Sermo datur cunctis, animi sapientia paucis.

And the less said about them, the happier you’d be. Don’t waste words, to them or about them…
Ignore them. 黙殺
Sorry for my comment without explanation. I thought it might be fun to look at the solution for the above from another cultural perspective (Japanese).
【黙殺】silence + kill
ignore; take no notice of
There is another word with a similar meaning
【無視】no + see
ignore; disregard; pay no attention
The common element for both words is to treat something as if it does not exist.
The difference between them are these.
1. The top one is used only for fellow human beings, while the bottom one could be used for others, such as inanimate objects, ideas, rules, etc.
2. The top one is often more severe in sentiment than the bottom one.
