Jim, you are a really imaginative writer and I appreciate your thoughts.
I picture a different analogy. Instead of Carol being some person your friend deals with out there somewhere, let's make Carol a person who is always in your living room. She talks a mix of 10% sense and 90% nonsense. She talks to you and your guests whether they talk to her or not. Would it be comfortable if everyone just pretended she wasn't there? Would it be comfortable if you told your guests to ignore her, and gave them a demerit any time they talked to her, or even mentioned her? I think that would seem a little weird and unworkable.
