That's what they do. If I come across that stuff I shut it down. Sometimes I will give them the facts in one or two sentences and then refuse to engage further...Usually I find that telling them to go away and I don't play that game shuts them up. They know what they are doing when they pull that crap. It's not worth your time. You aren't going to change their minds.
