"So" was always annoying to me. "So" at least implies a lack of knowledge that can be corrected.
"Whatever" gives the connotation of not caring. Disinterested is tolerable. Not caring isn't.

I always thought that it was what you said, when you really don't give a poot about what some yahoo is ranting about. Just a nice way of saying "frankly my dear, I don't give a darn".
Of course, people are going to get irritated, when they are dismissed like that.
