Basically I was in this group chat with a couple frens/acquaintance mix. There is this guy in there who is public enemy number one (he constantly talks at the top of his voice, claps in public for no reason, he made enemies with two of our other mutual friends by calling one a slut for turning him down and the other by going through his facebook then spreading his secrets everywhere).

Basically this guy kept talking me down every time I said something (ie if I asked someone something in the group chat he would cut me off with things like KEEP IT TO YOURSELF IF YOU DONT WANT TO TELL NELOPLAGIS ITS OK or NELOPLAGIS IS A FISH WHICH IS GOOD FOR BUBBLE, I AM A WHALE WITH GOOD FOR SPOUT'

I can ignore weirdo and agree and amplify but he doesn't stop. Initially he wasn't a problem because people were still telling me things despite him telling them not to. But then eventually one other guy (guy B) in the group thinks it's funny and begins to join in with weirdo, adding things like 'yea, tell my girlfriend and I, don't tell neloplagis'.

I snapped by saying 'ok then there is no reason for me to stay', and left the chat altogether because I knew that people eventually would follow suit given majority vote of social aggression. I know I lost frame there but I had to get out because the cost of staying (not standing up for myself) far outweighed the cost of leaving (losing a couple friends, not including the weirdo and toxic guy).

Avoiding weirdo is easy (his gibberish gives me a headache anyway so it's a bonus) but guy B is very good at capitalizing, so he will probably be badmouthing me in the group right now. I anticipate that he will soon begin making jabs like 'ooh dont say xz or yy, Neloplagis will LEAVE THE GROUP' or other ways to burn me. How would I go about deflecting his future jabs/ball busts/shit tests? I know agree and amplify, but I need examples.
