Another technique that they use is to constantly derail the conversation. They can tell that you are about to set up an argument when to attempt to establish underlying principles for the basis of an argument. They will immediately disagree or argue against any principles that you try to establish and then lead you away from the conversation. They like to lead off on tangents, especially tangents about esoteric principles that are difficult to quantify and generally just lead to more arguments. During this time they bring nothing to the table of discussion and try to keep you talking. Eventually you will say something that is arguable not %100 correct and thus any argument that you make is now false. The idea is to make certain that you never make your points and no conversation actually takes place. Anyone listening will only be confused and if they succeed, you will eventually say something that others will disagree with, which will suddenly become the most important part of the conversation. They say very little using this technique and never agree to any core principles, thus they say very little that onlookers can disagree with. Meanwhile, you are forced to defend every idea that ever existed, accept your actual argument, which will never be made.
