You kind of can, but for the most part, it is better to just not engage unless they are showing themselves to be an open and honest interlocutor.

"1. a person who takes part in a dialogue or conversation."

I've been trying to find an alternative to interlocutor because I didn't think it made sense in english. Life is about to get much easier !
