Aggression and dishonesty aren't going to help. You'd be better off dropping the defensive arguing and realizing that you overreacted. It's okay to have screwed something up and admit it. You'd be getting a much better reaction if your response was along the lines of 'Whoops, yep. Guess I'm a bit of a hot-head sometimes, I'll try to look out for that.'
But when someone literally can't ever admit that they could possibly be wrong, that they could possibly have overreacted in any way, how is anyone supposed to work with that?
Everyone is wrong sometimes. Being intractable about it doesn't get you anywhere.
