On the other hand...
You do have tendency to post flat statements which seem to imply you know as much or more than the people you're talking to.
He's goading you intentionally. It's what trolls do. That you took his bait proves that he's good at what he does. As said, you need to ignore him.
Resorting to direct personal attacks will get you in trouble just as fast as breaking the language rules.
Good luck with that. He doesn't usually debate - just insult.
You are not unintelligent, nor uneducated. You are, however, young. While not a bad thing in itself it does mean you have a lot to learn about proper debate, not acting superior to those around you (it doesn't sit well, whether it's true or not, and here it will usually not be true) and self-control. Be calm, be patient. You'll get there.
It's what he does.
