Can you add a feature so that I can block ALL Group Conversation requests so that I can start group conversation with others but other's can't start a group conversation with me?

This script will not prevent that.
To prevent that you need to capture and decline the protocol messages even before they make it to the convo (so to speak).
Even then, some advanced programmer could sniff the packets which indicate you've been added, but the chance of that happening is very slim...

* which should actually be instant seeing the event you've used, but in practice while testing your script I had plenty of time before anything popped up
In short: the script might be usefull for some, but it gives a false feeling. The script only closes the window after it opens up; after the group convo has been taking place, not before. So all the people in the group convo already have seen your email addy as you actually _did_ participated in the group convo (for a few seconds).
The script does not prevent group conversations at all. For that you need to actually intercept and decline the invitation messages on protocol level and that requires a proxy connection.
