The problem with insulting somebody you disagree with is that it will rather solidify their opinion than make them reflect on it and change.
They weren't going to change their opinions anyways. At least with calling them out there's a chance they get shocked away from their bullshit

Learning and changing your opinions requires that you feel safe and not stressed or threatened.
Regardless of whether they would actually do it, your insults guarantee that they don't.
