Should your next move be to diffuse and back down? Or should you bite back?
If it matters, the forceful person is a male and I'm a female.
Looking back, I feel like it's a power thing at work.
I don't engage. Life is short.

You can always say, "Let's agree to disagree" or similar, which is sort of neutral but not exactly backing down. And yes, it's probably a power thing. People in cubicles are basically just caged, angry animals fighting over scraps.
