An insult must be both thrown and caught. If you refuse to catch the insult, you refuse to be insulted.
Calling it a jerk flag is a great way to take over the transaction.

What makes insults insulting is that they draw focus to a real or perceived difference in or loss of status. That's an external perception that you may have some influence over by your response, but to a large degree it's outside of your control in the moment.
