Anytime I see a person gish galloping I employ a three strikes basis. I will humor their first argument. Maybe their second but if by their third all is consistently bullshit, I consider them to not be worth anyone’s time to “debate” and all further arguments from them in their gish galloping will be disregarded.

Easy way to avoid that? Don’t Gish Gallop.
You are far more tolerant than I am. I’d call it a flaw in my approach, but I just found 5 minutes to do a crossword so who’s the real winner? /s
I’ve tagged them as “dishonest debater” because they have chosen to present themselves as such.
