Get out of there!

Fellow speaker,

When the questioner keeps "hammering at you" with the same question:
  • Get the audience on your side - perhaps mention that other people want a chance to ask questions
  • Get their name - the questioner may not want to give out their name
  • End it - if it's going very bad up there with one person repeatedly asking hostile questions, end it and get out

On the out side,

Tim
