I understand that Edison (being a businessman and not a scientist) put every roadblock he could in the way of alternating current.
I've heard that one of these "roadblocks" was showing people an electric chair, trying to horrify them into choosing his DC over Tesla's AC.
That one sure backfired, huh?

ljbrs,
Right now, I just smile alot and nod in a noncommital manner until he leaves, or maintain my nose in whatever book I happen to be reading at the time. Right now I am reading a good book.
He's YOUR god, they're YOUR rules, YOU burn in hell! |

Good! That ought to keep him at bay. Just be entirely non-threatening. People whose emotions have problems need assurance that nothing is threatening.
Just keep it up. He will never change, but you are at the controls. Hopefully, he is not your boss.
Anyway, I am glad to hear that you have taken the reins in this situation and that he is behaving himself. He probably had a *thing* for you or something like that.
