You are waste of time. The tactic is simple: avoid the specific question and move the discussion into side issues. Instead of answering the point, the reply shifts toward third parties, strange behaviour, baiting, weakness, money, relationships, and “BSers.” That is deflection. Then comes guilt by association: connect one person to another and make them answer for someone else’s behaviour. That changes the subject again. After that, it becomes personal: “grow up,” “weak and ineffective,” “strange behaviour.” That is not an answer to the issue. It is pressure. The clever part is framing baiting as social wisdom: “this is how humans suss each other out.” That makes provocation sound like insight. If someone answers every accusation, they leave the original point and end up playing the game. That is the whole trap.
