I strongly recommend everybody to read Schopenhauer's "Eristic Dialectic: The Art of Winning an Argument", the full text (must be somewhere online, but better also buy the book as it's a must have in everybody's shelf).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_Being_Right

Schopenhauer wrote it as a mocking of dishonest debates but it's a handy guide not only for hardcore trolling yourself but for being prepared to recognize attempts of infiltration.

The tactics mentioned above look like an adapted version of it.
