You seem to have mellowed and are bringing members into your fold. I'm not fooled or amused by your manipulation. We have a history and I maintain that.

The above was PMed me about 2 weeks ago, my first thoughts were that this fellow doesn't know whether he is coming or going because he can't tell whether I was being honest or not. Then I thought my work is done here, there are people here who believe I truly am a man of wealth and taste.

The one thing I can tell you all is that you have no clue as to just how manipulative I can be. You would not even see it coming or know it is happening. There have been times when I have not only hesitated but have deleted entire Posts because I was worried that it might be manipulative. I see it as a ethical and moral issue that I try very hard not to cross the line on. That is not to say I will not put my arguments in the best light possible and will lead to conclusions. Think of it as trying to sell a car, your going to say that it is worse than a Yugo? I think not! In general I do not need subterfuge as I find it far more affective just putting down what I think and believe.
