In future I would suggest you simply say if you would like some time after the presentation or at the next meeting to refute my arguments or present your own we can make that happen but while I am presenting can you kindly shut up and listen or leave.
Thanks, I think this is the simple solution that I should have already known and need to remember. Sadly, I didn’t even think of this while writing the post. Maybe the real skill here for me is to not get so pissed off that I get blinded and forget the simple and effective solution.

I think this is the logical solution after the fact but not always so easy in the heat of the moment when you are trying to present something.
I remember back in the day when I played in a band and we agreed to do a show for a friend who was promoting a party. Everyone was just talking through our whole set and we were having issues with the levels from the sound guy it was just a mess. I was growing more and more frustrated as the set went on. Then with one more song to go I stepped to the mic and said "we have one more song to go, so shut the fuck up for 5 minutes and you can get back to your party".
Grace under pressure is not always the easiest thing.
