Now first off im not saying every sunni i have debated has thrown emotional arguments and stupid insults at us during my debates with them but im just asking what to do when some do.
Things like "ALI ALI ALI", "You worship Ali" (which is outright false, anyone with merely a pinch of knowledge about Shi'ism knows we dont) and "SHIA DOG", yes, that happened.
So what should i do in those situations, walk away, end the debate or wait until they give a logical question?
Thanks

Many Sunni brothers have not known the truth, and the best we can do is try to guide them. However, it is important to see if they are simply misguided or don’t want to learn.
I have talked to some Sunni brothers, and many do not know much about Islamic history, apart from the well-known very retold stories.
Try to use logic, and if you see signs of jahl, don’t continue.
It’s very sad to see our brothers misguided like so, and Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) will judge best.
