I think this is very important advice, and too rarely followed.
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...
