We, the non-moderators can report to moderators.

As for shutting down, maybe just don't respond and wait to see if the person goes on to reveal what's really bothering them.

Then again, I'm not a trained therapist so ... some topics just die from the weight.

You don't have to be a trained therapist to see when your debate opponent is going off the rails.
