I believe that the moment the volume increases, and their face begins to redden, that's about the right time to stop arguing.

Depends. This situation can be caused by either debater being close minded.

For example, arguing with a flat earther can make you angry. Not saying you should get angry, but I see it happening.

Well in the flat earther context, "It's hard to win an argument with a smart person, but it's damn near impossible to win an argument with a stupid person.” – Bill Murray

For sure.

Sorry to be pedantic, but it’s “closed-minded,” as in someone has closed their mind to new information or differing opinions.

This. Conspiracy theorists, especially, don't debate. Their arguments are full of fallacies and they keep moving the goal posts. It's impossible to debate them cause they'll keep changing the topic with redirection.

We need to stop allowing them to do this. Call them out on this, point out the fallacy directly and emphasis that they aren't good at arguing/debating, that they're good at misdirection/moving the goal posts.

Their entire tactic is to keep the opposing side back-peddling to cover new information based on fallacies that the conspiracy theorist randomly throws out there.

I don't agree with this. Some topics are really emotional. I know people like to act as if showing emotion during an argument means you've lost, but it's only natural if you're arguing over a topic that is personal or emotional to somebody.

OP also tries to guilt trip people into subscribing to her onlyfans, which in my opinion makes everything else irrelevant.

What does that have to do with anything there, Salt Master….?
