if you attempted to engage them on the specifics — they simply moved on to more generalized sneers. . . or shift the subject to one only tangentially related to the topic but one that they are better equipped to discuss, or bring up something 100% irrelevant that is merely another shot in the ideology wars, or retreat behind one of the many fallacious argumentums, such as ad hominen, ad ignorantum, or . . . or . . .
Someone once said if William F. Buckley went to hell, his punishment would be to have to argue with a six-year-old for all eternity.

I can relate. I spent three years in Scotland and made a bunch of friends. About half don't speak to me anymore. I'm 'scary' for caring so much about terrorism (I live in Manhattan) and understanding what a threat it is. We just don't relate anymore.
