I guess that I've grown used to hearing bizarre statements and rants and observing them in an interested, yet emotionally detached way. My favorite is: "Hm, isn't that an interesting viewpoint." Which leaves them thinking they've accomplished whatever goal they had in mind but doesn't encourage them, so everybody is happy without my causing a weird scene. Good skill for dealing with a lot of New Yorkers, ESPECIALLY artistic ones lol!!

Plus he's not a baby-eating ogre, just some weirdo who thinks he needs to tell everyone what he thinks of Atkins, and in his mind he thinks he's saving my life.

Now, if there WERE animals or babies involved? Oh you bet your a** I'd have caused a scene.
