And this is why my friends and I play a silly game every time missionaries go stomping about the neighborhood, the goal, get them to talk as long as possible (my record is 45 min.)

This does two things, the first is that they arnt going to bother anyone else (Im very not interested and am trying to not have them waste anyone else’s time). The second is a lot harder, it is an opportunity to try and get in some deprogramming. Direct all your conversation at the younger person, JW and mormons do this most often but we have a few cults in the area and this is important for them too. Be nice, offer them tea, engage in the philisophy they are peddling, play the role of Socrates and ask annoying questions but dont come off as condesending. A lot of cults need to scare their younger members into staying in the fold, prove that having a nice conversation with the friendly atheist down the street wont cause them to burst into flames.

Wern’t there a few AI maze projects in the works? I wonder if running one of those for a bit will cause you to be added to an ignore list, clearly they dont respect your robots file.
