==Interacting with these people==
The short answer is: don't engage.

Attempts to engage them in discussion will certainly result in a display of a wide range of [[logical fallacies]], especially [[ad hominem|ad hominems]], derailing the discussion and avoiding the issue at hand. Their leader and some of his most loyal followers have tried to engage others in freethinking groups, such as on [[Fun:RationalWiki Facebook|RationalWiki's Facebook group]], but left after they failed to impress. For a group claiming to promote individuality, it has very strong indications of being a personal cult around their [http://www.endimos.net/ leader]. Discussions take place in a mix of English, Greek and Cypriot dialect, which can make discussions hard to follow for people not from Cyprus.
