If you notice someone acting in bad faith, don’t engage with them

I find that relentless mockery is the best way of countering a sealion. Don't cede the field to them. But also don't get drawn into a bad faith argument. Just insult and make fun of them until they leave.

That just feeds their persecution complex and their argument that "You don't have any rebuttal, just insults!"

Don't get into a drawn out conversation with them, but a field of people giving simple responses pointing out the obvious flaws it what they are saying drowns out their message to any outside observer and shows why they are incorrect.
