From my layman's perspective, a lot of these difficult kooks only
really focus on contention. Not on disagreement or thwarting them as
such, but the social signals of contention. Maintaining a friendly and
helpful attitude while continuously disengaging can keep you in the
99.9% of the world that they ignore.

Excellent advise. I thank you for that. I have experience many of
these that *enjoy* both the attention and the contention, and feed on
it avidly. I wish I can garner the strength and clarity not to get
baited...
