Or just be honest and have a normal discussion. Instead of (and I will change the wording here) changing the subject or deflecting, maybe talk about the topic at hand.

Which again doesn't really lead anyone to wanting to care about someone's opinion. When people act like dicks no one really wants to listen to them.
