To the OP: If you really were as good as you seem to think you are, you would have been able to word this in a way that A) made sense and B) didn’t make you sound like a total, full of yourself, jerk.
Just saying…
Yes you are. ;)
A) I'm afraid that it really is true that only people who've experienced similar phenomena can relate to what I am talking about. Some did. It can certainly be learned.
B) I'll own up and quit here. The manner in which all of this was written was meant to be a display of what I am talking about. It is Form-Content Integration. I wrote this whole thing and fielded all of the comments generally using the most controlling and absolute language possible ( got lazy later), so of course I sound like an immense jerk to a group of people. This is also why it seems like an advertisement or a solicit. I don't talk like that in real life, I was illustrating my point in what I still find to be a clever and useful manner. Sorry no one caught it. I did mention it.
There is a lot more that goes into influencing people without their knowledge than just words, but being able to swiftly and effectively pick out the most dominant language to express yourself is certainly a component. I was "dominating" this thread I started, of course no one liked it. There are many different areas of skill acting, magic, psychology, even criminology that go into the finished operating and it all has to be ideally effortless so that you appear to not be thinking of any of it. But through these skills a person can project a level of dominance that is extreme.
But besides having had a serious question at the time, I have a serious point. There are many people out there who are far better than me at this stuff, either because they are pros like Derren Brown or because they have all the skills and are sociopaths like say Jim Jones (though he's not exactly out there any more). Its easy to see through the words on paper but when they come from the right person in the right manner it just works. *shrug*
So there's my lesson in manipulation without really ever saying to much. I'm probably still a jerk though. :P
You, Sir, are mistaken.
You see, you can't just say that your domination skills didn't work on us because this is a forum, and we are all angry posters. I say this not facetiously; we are indeed all just a tad self righteous here.
I did catch on when you said we should look at the language of your posts. But that is not the point; the point is that you are incorrect.
You are akin to the magician who says his trick usually works, but this crowd seems to have caught on. You completely and utterly failed at domination. Everyone here walked all over you, with the exception of a few more patient posters.
If your form content integration had worked, we would all agree with you. But we do not, and so, you failed. You 100% failed at domination. There is no other way to put it. Do not blame the FCI trick as making you look like a jerk. You look like a jerk because you failed at what you claim to do best.
You say that "nobody liked it" because you were "dominating the thread". I did admire your thick skin, but you were not at all dominating the thread. You were trying to, and that's a big difference. If you had dominated the thread, I wouldn't be about to call you a giant douche, would I?
You giant douche.
