Dismiss the source, even if I can't source it. Never attack the argument.

Thank you for offering me an opportunity to dissect one of these Q posts in public. I don't like to do that unless asked, as I'm not really here to change minds. But since you twisted my arm as hard as you did, I am happy to oblige.
But be careful. There have been a few people around here who have take pride in the role of becoming my dedicated arch-nemesis, and usually it's met with suspicion (eventually) from everyone else that you're working with me as a straw-man foil.
I'm not here to change minds. I'm here to understand how you think through questions and critique. That's how Socrates did it, and that's how I try do it. Your insistence on making this a battle between us is motivated only on one side.
