Another option would be to respectfully disagree, and to state the reasons why you think differently. This person prefers to do otherwise, for reasons that are of no importance to me. Yesterday, he responded to my essay with an attempt to attack me as a person -- and in doing so, simply exposed his own "issues." I felt embarrassed for him, and was tempted to try to help him out. Not everyone is intelligent and articulate enough to present a proper case in the context of a serious conversation. No shame in that.
