I'm nothing if not obliging.
I've done that too without saying anything, but it still irritates me. Outside religion, if someone tries to sell you a product, it is normal for someone to ask questions, but when religion says, "sure ask questions", they don't mean hard questions, they mean look at the fictional ice cream and let me convince you it exists.
I get sick of that, not his rights, but the unreasonable expectation that I am not allowed to object to the logic behind the sales pitch. I am quite sure he's still out there somewhere trying to sell that to others, and I won't legally stop him. But if you try to sell that crap to me, I am going to be honest with you. Just like I find it predatory for credit card companies to go onto college campuses and try to get you to sign up for one knowing you are at high risk already in dept only to be able to make the minimum payment which makes them more money long term.
Humans do not have super powers, they never did. Point is, you got something you want to sell I cant stop that. But if you open your mouth to me, I am not going to mince words and I am going to tell you exactly what I think of your product. But even if I thought your product was great, I still would not want you chasing me down on my time. If I like what you sell, I know where you are and how to get there.
