This conversation is very helpful, wouldn't you agree? Of course you would? Imagine if all our conversations on FR where this productive, that would be an improvement, wouldn't it? Yes, I know you agree, anyone who doesn't just want's to control the conversation anyway. By the way, thanks for that million dollars, you are a great person for giving that to me. But you know you are a great person, right? Now how can I get that money wired?
Sorry, old NLP joke...
Oof! Ok, I admit, even in bald print that technique is effective.
Fortunately someone being engagingly nice on FR is so unusual that all our internal alarms go off - we’re safe from your Neurolinguistic reign of Terror!
