Same here.  If you're sending me something I don't recognise, I'm not going to
start a conversation about what you might feel like sending, I'm going to drop
the connection, both because I have no idea what form such a conversation
would take and because if the other side can trigger a back-and-forth like
that then it's just more attack surface being opened up.
