I'm actually not familiar with what happened in your case, but I did include the caveat of "not allowing yourself to be *bullied* away". The point being that you can walk away from a flashpoint and calmly make your point later. Walking away is not "do nothing" but "don't act in anger", and "sometimes its really not worth it". The latter I would apply to intractable naming disputes. The amount of effort and debate that gets expended on naming debates is, in most cases, just not worth it. Cost-benefit analysis and all that.
