Have you read Cialdini's Influence? It's about this kind of thing. Just reading the Weapons of Influence changes how you behave, I've found.

Mock conflicting opinions, being careful to stay away from any ideas they might be sympathetic to.

I think you mean "opinions you both disagree with". Conflicting opinions means "opinions you don't share" to me. Maybe rephrase it?

No, but I will now.
