This will probably infuriate them as they now know they can't get to you.
There are numerous reasons why people are this way. Let them deal with
their problems. Stay above the fray.

I agree. Yeah I used to have to deal with someone who attend the same college I did who was very stuck up and arrogant. Always talked about how much better she truly was than others. She sincerely believed it, had no doubt in her mind she was way better and smarter than everyone she interacted with. She would even try to prove it. Once I graduated, I pulled away from her after some time. She responded with fury, called me a fake friend even though we were never truly friends to begin with. And anytime I countered her arrogance, she would call me annoying and even saying I am stupid and such.
She even went as far as to say that some words we use in ever day language really don't mean the same as most people think and that they have different meanings, despite strong evidence against her beliefs and truly believed that smoking and drinking was perfectly healthy. I am glad to no longer be around her and glad she finally leaves me alone. She eventually became an alcoholic, which is another reason I backed away from her, so she definitely had some insecurities which resulted in her becoming arrogant and stuck up. She would be drinking while stating how much better and smarter she was than others. Sometimes you do have to fight back but other times you have to literally walk away and avoid these people. It is the best choice of action since they can suck the energy right out of you.
