Unfortunately there isn't really a substitute for just walking away and ignoring the drama. There's no trick to doing that, other than having the will-power and conviction to do it.

One thing to remember, once the bickering gets going, is that whatever you say is likely to be taken negitively. If your words can possibly be seen in a bad light, they will be. Which often means it's better not to say anything at all!

But if you do decide to reply, you should do your best to improve the situation with what you say. That means being calm, clear, and careful in what you say. Try to understand the other person's point of view, and let them know that you do. But at the same time explain what you need to resolve the problem.

Of course, all this assumes that there is some sense in the argument. If it's just "I hate you"/"I hate you more", which seems to be what's going on in your community, then I would go right back to walking away and refusing to be drawn down to that level

I hope this helps!
