There's nothing wrong with not arguing with a guy you might be stuck with on a 4-day trip simply to save pride. Sometimes a quiet cockpit is best purely for sanity.
I simply smile when some jackass talks or looks down at me when I fly a little 150 at the FBO for fun and they get out of their Baron, King Air or helicopter, full well knowing that I fly something bigger, better, and all over the world, seeing things they only wish they could. What they don't know doesn't hurt them, and they still get to go home and think they're cool.
Long story short - chill. Step back, let people talk. Guaranteed, you aren't the only one who thinks someone is a blowhard.
I agree with your advice. However, I have to ask about what I highlighted in bold. Aren't you just as guilty as said jackass by implying that your bigger airplane is better? How do you know that they wish they could see any of the things you see? No matter how much bigger your airplane and no matter how many things you see that you think other people wish they could, doesn't necessarily mean that you're envied.
Sometimes people are content with flying a smaller airplane locally and to them, it might be "better" to being away from home for a couple or three weeks.
