duly noted

A phrase that is used to disregard yet acknowledge someone’s criticism, critique, observation, or suggestion. The connotation is a snide ‘I don’t care what you think. You are probably right, but that doesn't matter. Shut up.’

The situation often ends as an ‘I told you so

Duly noted” …

duly noted
