"Goodbye" is a welcome comment in this context. However, you seem 
incapable of addressing the points I raised.  To say this conversation 
cannot serve a purpose seems rather selfish.  My points are about 
whether you should try to control others' actions or not.  Apparently 
you do not want to look at your role in that context.  Good luck!  I am 
more interested in having you mind your own business than having a 
conversation with you, [although I would love to have you challeng your 
role as well,] so keep that in mind if you don't want to have another 
"purposeless talk."
