“You may disagree (as I do to some extent), but there it is no reason not to take him seriously. I think that his comments were meant seriously and were l’sheim Shamayim out of a sincere concern for tznius.”

But by all means, continue to engage him in conversation. It provides me with pages of hilarious content.
