I figured this kind of thing would happen. You had to double down at that point. Now all you can really do is a passive aggressive attack like putting on airbuds or earplugs to bait a decent debate with them. This will only work if they aren't an immoral person. Honestly, something as simple as unwillingness to admit flaws and change, is a fair reason to cut and run. Shooting the shit is fun, but if you actually value the friendship then these things come into play.
