91. the specific people who tried to convert you "they" or the anyone who...
..is religious, regardless of whether or not they've tried to do anything to your or not "they?"

I'm religious, and I don't think I've ever been a "pain" to you - certianly not if by "pain" you mean attempting to convert you.

This is my point exactly about why generalization language is destructive. The people who have tried to convert you have been a pain to you. That is a valid statement. But that's the only valid statement.
