It's good that you want to remain civil. Sometimes the toughest part of that is knowing when to just "walk away". I know it's tough when you feel that you've simply been misunderstood, and even with emoticons at our disposal, that can still happen so easily with nonverbal communication...

But unless you still need to obtain something from the other person (like a specific piece of information), I would advise just letting it go, and then add an extra :) the next time you interact with them. The dispute probably won't matter as much to either of you a week from now.
