What could the saying "you back people in a corner" when debating them mean?

I'm not sure but someone accused me of doing it once!
does that mean I've won the debate? lol. (this is going to the first answer given)
The odd thing is, is that when you're arguing aren't both people "pushing the other into a corner"? I mean you're not agreeing with each other, you say one thing the other person says "no, it's not like that, this is how it is", so you say "no, you're wrong, this is how it is" and they say "nah uh that can't be true because of this" and you say "not true because that wasn't true itself" and it goes on and on... I'm saying basically it takes two people to argue, so why would one person be more likely to accuse the other of "pushing them into a corner"?
I think you seem to have misinterpreted the entire situation by taking what I noted as a specific incident and saying that had something to do with the difference between a conversation and an argument. I was talking about an argument... the title even says debate. I should probably be insulted you felt fit to tell me what I see as common knowledge, but I wont be because it was probably a relelation to you or you wouldn't have felt the need to write it... afterall, people aren't generally insulting for no reason.
