What Would It Take To Piss Off An Entity?, Just out of curiosity Options

In your dealings with the goetia, is there ever a time when something just turns them berserk?
How do they react to insults, disrespect and treating the whole ritual as a laugh?

I realize this topic has the potential to make me unpopular; (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tomato.gif) but if I ever get the chance to summon a goetic spirit, I don't want to screw anything up by accedentally insulting it.

I would agree with that post if it wasn't for the comment on "maybe the slight aroma of brimstone that seems to be following you around is a bit unfortunate".
I don't know if it's me or if it's everybody else, but I have never had a manifestation with a stink. If anything I have had pleasant smells whenever I've worked with daemons. Actually I would think that the magician is doing something terribly wrong if the entity arrives with nasty smells. Probably pissed it off...

About the rest of the post, that's a good conversation to have with a daemon. Ask it what it prefers to be called, it doesn't actually have fall in the demon or fallen ange category. Some grimoires say they're elementals, some modern magicians say djinns, it's really a matter of sitting down to have a talk with them.

Cool, altpath...I was actually intending with that to be silly or sarcastic, to a degree...but you think that would seriously work well with them?

The one Goetic I was thinking of maybe trying to work with at some point, in terms of what I've been reading at least, is possibly Paimon. The reason why I was going to choose him is because he is mentioned as having the ability to bind people...and one of the single biggest problems I've always had is people who continue to come back into my life after I've explicitly told them that I don't want to see them any more.

There is one guy in particular offline who was actually in the local paper a day or two ago...he got stabbed in the neck as part of some gang violence, but he was actually coming to my house a few days before that, because he claimed to be an old friend of my housemate. Coincidentally, we did a Chaos type working on the day of the stabbing to try and ensure that he didn't come back, and that the problems I've been having with drug people in general recently for some reason (which is strange because I don't do drugs myself) cease, in terms of them not coming around any more.

That working seemed to do ok in terms of other drug people, but the main guy in question is still in hospital, and I want to ensure I have something else to do as a backup plan if it's necessary before he comes out. People might wonder why in mundane terms I don't simply be assertive and tell him to go away directly. I actually did ask him directly to leave once, but I am reluctant to do it repeatedly for the simple reason that as the above suggests, he has a tendency to be violent, and I want to avoid the possibility of retaliation.
