Thanks for this, Derrick! I'm really tired of sophism, I've spent almost a lifetime studying PR and Propaganda (and the psychology behind it), and my only wish is to help people see through the subtle manipulations people make with words.

There's also the energy behind what this guy is saying - it is no bueno, even without all my knowledge I would have felt it, something nagging in my gut that tells me "this is a very dishonest person writing, here".
