I have run into many of these types over the years. It's amazing to watch them run up their ladder of manipulative tactics until they realize that they aren't going to get what they want.

He was a good listener, he was fair, and he took us seriously. The Naploean Hill/Dale Carnegie types make my skin crawl.
