it depends imo.
Deep slow breathing can sometimes be necessary if you have the patience. You're not getting paid for your thoughts so you gotta go w/your flow imo.. and I guess treating them like 5yr olds is more peaceful till they leave if that's what's happening.
The other twist is maybe the jerk does contribute to others and yourself. How about your in a situation where your picking 3 brains and the jerk is involved. Then it's group dynamics that has to be managed by you.
Personally, it's much easier to deal w/ a jerk that's interested in an education than a jerk that's ranting.
