I don't think I've ever won anyone over to my perspective with... "You know you're stupid because xyz" There's a world of difference between a straight shooter and a browbeater. You might want to cogitate on where you fall on that spectrum.
I agree with you here. And this is why it's so strange to me that so many people type insults to Ahriman.
It's pretty clear that pointing out his flaws to him doesn't have an improving effect.
And the insults don't make him feel bad, so they're not working as punishment.
The fact that people continue tells us more about them. Is there pleasure in insulting someone, once the consensus decides that it's OK to insult him?
If it's not about the pleasure of insulting, then why do people do it?
