You can't let the fundies bother you. There is a base level of stupidity in the world, and fundies are just part of it. They are annoying and irritating, but mostly because they don't fall within what we consider normal parameters. (i.e. they don't respond to logic or reason, and senselessly persists in their belief systems, even when doing so requires believing things which are patently false.) Arguing with them does no good other than providing a release for your pent up anger and frustration with them. However, doing so is effective only if you realize that they simply will not listen, nor ever provide you any satisfaction.
I know this is easy for me to say, especially the way I rage at the stupidity I encounter on a daily basis, but you have to understand that I rage because that's just how I vent. I don't really believe I'm ever going to make a difference with any of these people. Vent, then let go. :)
Of course, you can also have revenge, if venting doesn't do it for you. The one advantage we have over them is our intelligence and resourcefulness. Um, and our evil nature. ;)
