It's easy to get stuck responding to the motte argument. You might start trying to define culture or talk about historical events which are racist... and thereby basically let them defend their motte.
You don't want to attack that motte, so stay in the bailey rampaging...

Keep doing it never letting the motte argument get any purchase. People who are using this device intentionally are going to get frustrated far more quickly than you because they're stuck waiting in a cramped space they never wanted to be in while you're going to be running around liberally plundering their bailey uncontested.
If this was completely map-able to Medieval warfare, it would be very effective to occupy the bailey and deprive the motte of its sustenance.
