So why do you have to challenge his use of the word "superior?" We understand that it's an opinion - he never said it wasn't an opinion. So instead of saying "What does "superior" mean?" why not just say, "I disagree?"
"That depends on what you mean by the word is"

You can get sick until you're blue in the face, the point is that he and no one else has any right to make such rash statements. Honestly, who is he to say that? "You're gonna get if you say ____ is superior to ____"

1) Who cares?

2) It's completely opinion

I can't reply to it with "I disagree", because he didn't form his statement in such a way. I guess I'll just have to cry crocodile tears for your "sickness" for now
