Well, I think that with those that are just playing a game trying to see how much they can agitate you, you don't engage in that part. That reminds me of a conversation I had as a 7cups of tea listener before I realized 7cups is kinda evil. They were trying to "shock" me by saying outrageous and disgusting things about incest. They were unable to handle it when I decided to throw radical acceptance at them and was like , "yeah, that must make your life hard. I'm sorry to hear that, do you have a therapist that you can talk to about that.." and so on.
Maybe they were being sincere, maybe, but when I just treated them with kindness, they realized it wasn't fun and they left the conversation. They realized, I think, that they were just being inappropriate.
There is no way to get through to everyone, all you can do is try.
