Chances are that discussions about the [[MGM]] topic will culminate in an exchange of unkindness. There is no tendency to determine whether [[intactivist]]s or circumcision advocates have started to escalate a discussion; people and situations are too different for that and each person has other trigger words on which to react. But there are samples which often repeat and are used by circumcision advocates mostly, especially when they can no longer stand up argumentatively.
{{Incomplete}}
* Accuse the opponent as being [[Anti-Semitism club|anti-Semitic]].
* Accuse the opponent as being islamophob.
* Attack ''ad hominem'', i.e. attack the discussion partner personally, not speaking about the topic (''ad rem'').
* Claim that inactivists are not about children's rights.
* Claim that intactivists are pedophiles.
* Denounce inactivists to their employer/organization/party as [[Anti-Semitism club|anti-Semites]], etc.
* Deny and make fun of personal experiences and sufferings from mutilated men.
* Distract from the topic.
* Focus on the child's penis, not on his [[human rights]].
* Give names.
* Insist on [[arguments pro circumcision|circumcision myths]] which are already debunked and refuted by science or testimonies.
* Call intactivism a "cult", a "crazy world" or even a "mental disorder".
* Ridicule all arguments of the opponent, without counter arguments.
