If there is no further answer, I ignore the person. If the person
repeats a logical or factual error, perhaps in a rather different form,
I repeat my objection. I don't want the other person to win the argument
by mere repetition. Who was it who said that a lie repeated often enough
becomes the truth?

... Maybe the other person has a valid argument, just because he differs from you doesn't make him wrong, does it?I have clearly demonstrated repeatedly the serious flaws in the other person's argument.
