Often we get caught up in power trips and let our egos get the best of us and behave badly in public. When you stick you foot in it, the best thing to do is try apologize and move on. If you can work it out, even better. The last thing you want to ever do is stoop to someone else's level or get into a public pissing contest.
Everyone loses when that happens! Trust me, I've learned this the hard way, it's not worth damaging your reputation. Realize that you can't change anyone's mind you can only change yourself, your reaction, your thoughts. Let go of the pettiness. Say what you must, keeping in mind that you are a professional, but then walk away.
You can't solve a problem with the same mind that created it. Meaning, until you change your perspective or are willing to let go of your need to be right, you will never resolve the issue at hand. You will simply continue to compound the issue by your actions and your words.
We should agree to disagree without being disagreeable. There is a time and a place for everything.
Just a random thought...
