A: If you were interested you would have already searched for it / (include some early mild ad hominem.)
B: Can you just tell me where the evidence is ?
A: I am not your slave, do your own research / (include further ad hominem.) / (introduce 3rd unrelated subject)
B: I specifically want to look at the information that you have seen that has formed your opinion on this issue.
A: You would not understand it, your mind is closed / (include broad ad hominem aimed not just at questioner [B]B but at society as a whole.) (introduce 4th and 5th unrelated subjects)[/B]
B: Well at least show it to me and if there is anything I don't understand I can ask you about it.
A: I won't share the information with you as you have not given me sufficient respect / earned my respect / 'pearls before swine' . . . etc
++ If it is a sunny day A will say something to the effect of (or allude to) "I am going out, it's a lovely day, you can all stay in here arguing all day you silly pricks".
Go to top / repeat.
It's amazing how many times I have had this type of conversation over the years, had a few recent ones that are almost template perfect.
