Warning: Danger ahead
Have you ever been interested in communicating with someone, even though they have "trouble" written all over them?
Idle hands are indeed the devil's playground. -_-

What do you mean? Is it dangerous because you're afraid that you'll be tainted or something? Or do you want to communicate with them for the chance to evangelize? Well, instead of randomly guessing, I guess I could just ask if you could please narrow down the circumstances a little so I can answer more effectively...

People who write below their abilities in order to crank out tons of books and make a buck. Especially Christian authors who do that. Outsiders judge us for it, and make fun of us for it, and it makes Jesus look bad. We of all artists on earth should be the most concerned with doing our best possible work at all times. We of all people should write with all our hearts, as if writing for the Lord and not for men.

Aaaah, I see now what you mean. No, I can't honestly say I've been caught in a situation like that before...is there something you need prayer for or just an inquiry?

If I think someone looks like trouble, I don't try to initiate conversation.
I know what spineless means
Okay, I know what u mean now.

Sigh. I'm silly, in search of something that will leave me empty. The packaging is okay, but the box has nothing in it.

Hmmm... If I know someone is a manipulator, I tend to run the other way. I don't like it when people play those kinds of games with me.
I can see, though, how some "trouble" people could be tempting to befriend. But remember that only a fool goes looking for trouble.

Why not. Just watch yourself extra carefully, and pray without ceasing.
Our lives are but a vapor, let us not let waste our time and breath on vanities, but let us spend ourselves for the Kingdom, seeking a better resurrection.

If you are able to tell that they are a manipulator with such ease, then they must not be very good at manipulatiing. 
I have tried to communicate with people like this before, and it was a mistake.
