Obligatory warning that taking that thought to its extreme will result in an echo chamber, which is exactly how certain other instances have become what they are now. But… yeah, it is one of the tactics of people who espouse certain beliefs to “flood the zone” leaving the other side so exhausted from pushing back against all the little lies that bit by bit, cm by cm (or inch by inch for Americans:-P), the conversation shifts to favor the side that is willing to engage in such horrid tactics to “win” arguments (by mostly avoiding arguments at all and instead just bullying those who want to truly dialogue on matters of substance into giving up all attempts to try to have them).

A good way to start is this one: The South Bank of the Rubicon
