I have seen, as I'm sure we all have at one time or another, bullshit arguments stop a game dead in its tracks and freeze everything up. The players say the argument is in-game and no-one is getting upset but clearly they are.
I have found that a Duel of Wits mechanics can help a situation like that.
It doesn't help the player who has trust issues from having trust issues but it keeps the game moving in a fair manner.
I have found myself looking such player-player conflicts dead in the facts and saying, "Everybody, this is getting talked out. Someone needs to roll some dice and decide something decisively or shut the hell up."
And let the game flooooow....
