I actually disagree with shut up. These people are looking for anything that can keep it going and keep them being powerful over you. Saying shut up will give them what they want, a response. Them, the intellectual, you the angry person saying shut up.
Just say you're done with the conversation and stop responding. Silent indifference eats at these deeply insecure people.
That's why you say "shut up nerd" in a contemptuous tone, not an angry one.
I think it depends on the situation
Online, yeah, say you're done and ignore them
Real life, I think people need that little slap to the ego
