When someone replies to a statement you made by calling you names, they're implicitly saying that's it's true. Otherwise they could have shown why you were wrong.

Or they don’t know how to use logic in a debate

hm, counter-point: imagine the position of someone who is self-aware they can't debate (left brain), but has the initial emotional instinct that you're wrong (right brain). they could respond calling you a name & truly believe you're wrong, simultaneously

I watched the video about the left brain right brain split experiment that you mentioned. Have you read up on other things about it (or could recommend similar material)? It seems to have really re-framed your perspective on things.

What if they’ve shown you are wrong ten times and you’ve ignored them? (It’s a childish example, I know, but i see it all the time).
-
In that case why continue to engage with them at all?

It sounds like you're making an unwarranted assumption about their intellectual capacity here. Someone might believe that you're wrong -- and might even be correct in such a belief -- while still being incapable of formulating an argument to justify their belief.
-
Yes, that's true. I considered adding the qualification that they could simply be stupid and/or inarticulate, but I figured I'd give them the benefit of the doubt.
