What Is “Fogging”

It's a simple tactic of assertive communication, which is handy for passing the shit tests thrown your way.

You should read the shit test Encyclopedia before going any further, though.

Fogging

Rather than arguing back, fogging aims to give a minimal, calm response using terms that are placating but not defensive, while at the same time not agreeing to meet demands.

Fogging involves agreeing with any truth that may be contained within statements, even if critical. By not responding in the expected way, in other words by being defensive or argumentative, the other person will cease confrontation as the desired effect is not being achieved. When the atmosphere is less heated, it will be possible to discuss the issues more reasonably.

Fogging is so termed because the individual acts like a 'wall of fog' into which arguments are thrown, but not returned.

Shamelessly stolen from here.

Examples here.

Makes me think of 'agree and de-amplify'
