Good point Bill, we should really avoid the self-flagellation over the more "colorful" members of the S fraternity.
For promotion, I wouldn't even get into things like "runs better than HO". Unless maybe the person is complaining about the way HO runs. I think I mentioned before; build models, run them, have fun! Invite other modelers to run with you, display models and/or modules at shows. If you are having fun rather than bemoaning that you can't buy all the stuff available in other scales folks are more likely to be interested. I don't know what to do with the examples of dealers complaining or "cursing" S scale. If it's a momentary thing with a normally good guy, I guess just say "Have a good show." and walk away. If it is a regular thing, you might note that S scaler's buy paint, styrene, scenery material, magazines and books like any other model railroader, but given your attitude I'll be buying those things elsewhere.
