No, but we should choose our battles. Arguing with a random nutter in a train station isn't one of them.

As far as I can see every other person got it right. Nod, smile and back away slowly.
I don't know about you, but I still see a random nutter as a person (and for the record, this guy did not stand out as being that way until I had talked to him for a minute). Would you still react this way if it was a Joho canvasing you and trying to convert you? What makes this guy nuts but mormons and Islamic extremists sane?

How can you be sure of what he said?
"See that bloke over there with the headphones, he asked me to come back to his house for some sexy fun time".
Maybe 12 people or so. I could hear him talking to them. What you suggested would be a pretty freaking weird thing to tell a bunch of commuters about a teenage girl, right?

How very ingratiating. Why the fuck did you bother in this particular case? Could it be just possible the bloke was a bored wind up merchant?
This is sort of my question. Why did I bother? Why does anyone bother being the only sane one in the room?
