Rudy's substitute for rational engagements:

This is proved beyond rational dispute. (You've lost and are
triggered)
It is settled. (It isn't but you're running away.)
No, they didn't. (They did.)
You agree. (He doesn't.)
You know this. (He doesn't.)
No. I'm right. (You're not and you're running again.).
Please start. (He did and you can't respond)
Correct. (Yes, he is.)
Got it. (Yes, and it's up your ass.)
Correct. This is settled. (Yes, but not the way you think)
Your continued concessions of defeat are noted. (Projection)
This is proved. (Yes, but not the way you think)
That is not credible. (Yes, it is.)
I'm winning on everything, scooter, as always. (If you have to say it
then you're lying and you know it.)
