Manipulation
 

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.

Hmmm, still talkin' to those voices in your head, eh Tabby? SmileWavy

Use the force for good, not evil.

*bong hit*

Tabs,

Has someone hacked your Pelican account?

You are usually the epitome of polished prose, but this post strays from that norm.

The poor grammar, improper use of "your" and unfinished sentence leads me to believe you were hacked (or half asleep).

All the best

I wrote it before I went to bed. So it is half asleep.

And do U want me to OUT the person that sent me that PM?

I'm not sure. What do the voices in your head think?

I'm wondering if one of the voices in his head sent the PM.

That's my guess.

"There's a point in your life when you get tired of trying to fix everything and trying to make everybody happy. When you finally decide to quit, it's NOT giving up. It's realizing that you don't need certain people and the B.S. they bring to your life." -anon

BTW, I didn't PM Tabby...

Are you possibly one of the voices in Tabby's head?

OK. I was kinda worried about you.

I don't think you have to Chuck any names around. :D

Les

I have an idea but not going to say a thing...

I'm thinking the person who sent it to you came out a long time ago...

N!aaaaaaah. CaN!'t be... ;)

It was probably Vash....

Would that be contrary to the norm?

let me pen him a letter...

I know what you mean, Tabs. Having sufficient charisma to accomplish complete and utter control of other peoples' thoughts is a heavy burden and a great responsibility. I will continue to let them believe their thoughts are their own, as long as you do the same.
