By simply derailing the conversation, dismissing their opinion as false and ridiculing their experience you can be sure that they continue to be marginalised and unheard and you can continue to look like the expert you know you really are, deep down inside!

Derailing comments can be caused by dismissing an opinion as false or ridiculing a person's experience causing the person to be further marginalized and unheard. See this link for examples of derailing. We want to be sure everyone is heard but that they do so respectfully and on-topic.
