Insult.

Insult.

You say something in response. And they say:

"Don't get defensive."

This is major psychological manipulation and controlling behavior. Several people I know did this to me and when I realized how regularly it happened I ended the friendships.

I've seen this tactic in business settings numerous times. "Calm down" is another variant, often used in response to someone who just made a good point but was mildly emphatic about it. I'd be hesitant to label it "loser" talk though. It's a reframing/dominance move that can be effective, however dishonest it might be.

If business were more civilized, it would be OK to punch someone for saying that.
