Ever been trying to present a reasoned argument, with evidence, for something, only to be rebuffed with a response like this?
- "That's just your opinion."
- "Well, everyone's entitled to their own opinion."
- "You just don't like it because it's not cool and trendy."
What they mean is this:
- "I'm not listening. I've got my fingers in my ears. Neener, neener, neener."
