3. The word salad game

They may start arguing about non-essential details. Well, but I told you this, and this was that… It’s not really what you were getting into.
Or maybe they’ll say well, why don’t we talk about your deficiencies? So they can go into that where they may start talking about history. It’s like, well, you’re telling this about me, but I remember four years ago that… and then do you remember when you were talking to this person over here, and they get you going over there. Or they can cite how other people may think, well, you’re saying this but this person over here says this, do you know where this person’s background is? They try to get you diverted off of here, and then about 15 or 20 minutes later you’re thinking now, what was the original topic?
