In my view, I categorize conspiracy theory conversation to be the same as speaking about religion. What I mean by this is I try not to ask poking questions because I want to avoid offending the person's beliefs and I also don't want to make it seem as if I want to get sucked into their religion / conspiracy theory. For the most part though, most conspiracy theories involve faith without evidence. This approach only works when the conspiracy theory isn't tied to urgent action (maybe including inaction or noncompliance) or scapegoating.
