When someone repeats an argument that has been proven false /badly argued many times before, but keeps repeating it in hopes of drowning out opposition or derailing a thread. Yet not disruptive enough to get banned on forums, as it wraps itself in non-hostile, nicely written sentences.
How exactly do moderators deal with this kind of behaviour?
it’s called arguing in bad faith, or more specifically argument ad nauseum
Thanks, this is an exact description.
Small nitpick: It is spelled ad nauseam.
