I gotta question of advice from you m8s.
If your in an argument with someone and the opposing person stops making logical arguments are results to insults, and you call them out on it, but they won't accept it, is their anything to say or do to make them own up to it or are they just filled with so much self pride that they can't?

1 ReplyYour opponent has fallen to the ad hominem logical fallacy, where they try to attack you instead of your argument. It means they lost argument. No point in trying to continue to argue with them; they've lost and they know it. Just ignore them and move on
-
Once your opponent starts making insults, know you've one and walk away.

Most times whenever someone is refusing to admit how wrong they are it’s because of wanting attention.

Edited by OldboyVicious: 4/11/2019 7:55:15 AMWhen someone resorts to that, you've hit a nerve. Just remain silent and let them talk until they stop talking. Remain silent and expressionless. Maintain eye contact. After they finally stop talking, continue to remain silent and expressionless, look away from them while just thoughtfully nodding for a second or two, then regain eye contact and say "hm." Then continue doing what you were doing before they went angry and dont engage further. They will realize that they totally looked like a moron, and be extremely frustrated because as they calm down, they will start to think of all the things that wish they had said that they think would have been valid points, but now they don't get to express what they wanted to because they lost their temper. If you have the patience for this, it is amazingly effective. The longer they are in their angry rant, the dumber they will feel. If you just want them to feel uncomfortable and be quiet, silently stare at their shoes. Make it obvious you are staring at their shoes. Don't react to anything they say or do until they ask why you're staring at their shoes. When they do ask, just look at them in the eye and say "Hm? Oh." and then turn your attention to something else. If you really want to mess with them, and they happen to be holding something in their hand, nod while they are talking, like you would if you were agreeing with them. Then look at what they are holding and put your hand out as if you expect them to hand it to you. About 70% of the time they will hand it to you if they are still talking. Keep them talking by nodding and prompting them by saying things like "Really?" "That's interesting." "Why?" etc. If they ask why you took it, then ask them why they handed it to you.

I thought I had challenged you to a battle of witts. Too bad you have run out of ammo
-
Resort to logical fallacies of your own. The more insane and obscure the better. I have found it confuses and confounds them faster than anything, and they usually give up and leave you alone.
-
You point out what they are doing, ask them to revert to logic or leave
-
At that point you just have to play the long game and wait until they trip up on themselves or just give up.
-
Just stop arguing at that point. Say something along the lines of “we’ll just have to agree to disagree”. If they still persist after that, just walk away.

Just stay quiet
