Re: how to convince potential players of a fundamental rule?

Continue to raise their bets by $1 or something ridiculously annoying until they comprehend why that rule is in place.

The problem with allowing less than min raises to stand is not that they are annoying, but that they re-open the betting. For example, 3 players see the flop, first player bets moderate amount, second player raises by $1 - the third player is squeezed out by the second players $1 raise because he now faces a re-raise if he calls, and second player only had to risk the extra $1 to make this play. Of course, if you are playing with a bunch of donkeys you can probably take advantage of this more than they will.
