I've always found it a bit strange that folks think demonstrative behaviour like shouting, shaming, telling people they're wrong, actually changes opinions of itself.
It may have some effect if the recipient respects you.
If there is respect, then to a point, folks may stay and listen to what you have to say and maybe take some of it on board.
If the respect isn't there, and it usually isn't if someone comes on too strong, it's likely they'll nod their heads, say "You might be right" and turn and walk way thinking as they go..."What a Fckwit."
Contrary to changing opinions the aggressive, demonstrative behaviour is likely to reinforce them.
