There is a difference in that you have to have engagement with core(s) of the argument.

There is bad faith engagement (which is fun sometimes), there is ignoring some points to continue arguing (i.e. a&&b&&c=>x vs a||b||c=>x logic), and there is an honest curiosity. I usually just disengage if i think "i can't reach these kids", which can apply to all of those situations. I dont think calling people names is useful
