Suggestions for that annoying sceptic

[Kepler]

Many years ago, one of them confronted me at a party to try to ridicule my interests.

I tried to blow him off, but he kept pushing. In a fit of irritation, I told him "Okay, fine, care to test your theory ? Give me a lock of your hair and permission to destroy your life, and just using occult means I will. " They looked shocked and shut up, probably becasue they thought I was crazy.

That's similar to a situation I encountered where a belligerent pseudosceptic was trying to ridicule an entity contact.

After politely making a one time limited offer of contact with "The Grue" they immediately refused. Following that the same offer was specifically made to another that wasn't being sceptical and they refused. Then for a limited time it was open to all and no one took up on it. Which given the group was very surprising to me and required reassessing who those people claimed to be and my own consensus bias. As I would be inclined to readily accept to help an entity find its celestial alignment or disprove the claim.

The pseudosceptic and those that didn't want to acknowledge their refusal ended up dealing with their refusal by changing the story to me threatening them with the entity rather than it being an offer they refused or left unacknowledged. Fortunately there was a record that showed it was an offer and undermined their attempt to create a false narrative.
