When someone says "It's just semantics" is the moment I disengage from the conversation.
They just revealed their stupidity, are ignorant of what 'semantics' means, and they wish to dismiss your argument.

Sometimes it is just semantics. Usually that happens when the participants in the conversation are using terms differently than each other, and at least one party doesn't know it.
Instead of disengaging, ask questions to find the equivocations.

By saying "it's just semantics" is initial disengagement. I'm only disengaging because it is that moment I realized they are not engaged anymore.
Obviously some circumstances are different, but I find in most cases, that isn't disengagement, but an expression of exasperation.
