This is exactly the sort of thing I'm talking about. NLP practitioners have tricked themselves into thinking they're bloody superheroes. Ross Jeffries actually claims he can reach out and touch people across the room with his "psychic tendrils". In regards to hypnosis, you cannot put...

Fixed, emphasis mine. NLP has some uses, but there's a lot of garbage to sift through before you can find anything of any value.

There are numerous books to learn from, though personally I find NLP to a crock. It's a pseudo-science combining basic linguistic science with New Age crap. I would recommend actually starting out with some of Kenton Knepper and Docc Hilford's work to get a feel for verbal deception and the...

Supposing this is true, why not? He knows people will buy it.

I'd ask more questions and approach more cautiously. Time is the ultimate test of something's value.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention as I can only know what I see here. And he's right. But it is still possible to go too far. Then you should know exactly what I'm talking about. And why you should be above resorting to ignoring me and using my own argument as the rationale...

Everything I say and the way I say it is deliberate. I was trying to make a point, and you have just perfectly illustrated it. Now you understand what it's like to talk to someone who comes across as condescending and haughty. However, I don't know you. I'm just calling things as I see them...

Fair enough. Now ask yourself, how many of those are from the same bunch of teenagers actively looking for exposure? Of those, how many are just cheap brats who don't want to fork out the cash for a book or DVD, and how many are less fortunate types who aren't able to afford better learning...

There's only one s in my name. If you read the Gormenghast novels, you'd see why this is ironic. What is the likelihood of most of these people reading it? I did some checking around a few months back. Most of the types of videos you talked about had negligible views, few comments, and the...

But you will anyway. I wonder when the revelation will set in that I haven't made a personal attack in a while, yet those who disagree with me gleefully cast the first stone. Sure they can. And so can we. If they close this thread and it inspires some Che Guevara wannabe to jump ship...

Do you think you could have worked it to be as good as it possibly can be inside of a few weeks? Do you have any idea how long it takes to develop routines like Justin Miller's Silver Dream? How about Docc Hilford's "Yours Truly, Jack the Ripper"? Rick Maue's Fate? Do you think Paul...

Well, okay then. You asked for it. Let's begin, shall we? Two questions. First of all, who is this targeted to? Second, did you really not see the irony in doing this? Forgive the tangent, but if this is your reaction, then first I hope you're sitting down and have a paper bag...

We are not your focus group. If an effect is marketable, that means you've been using it for years with consistent results.

Glass houses, friend. Glass houses. Anyway, I believe Dark Angel said something about ad hominem attacks. I believe it's the post directly above yours as a matter of fact.

Practice what you preach. I don't talk about shops that I hate because nobody cares what I think. I simply do not have the influence to make anybody give a flying toss about where I get my material from. And neither do you. You want to proselytize? Do it to your cat. It's just as...

Behold! The power of logic! I should start making avatars for people who make sense.

Okay, I propose a new rule that those who continue to kvetch about other sites need a 3-day ban to learn how to shut up. Show of hands?

And? Even troublemakers are just expressing their opinion.

It never occurred to anybody to look up Wayne's user profile on the E forums? Supreme logic from the supreme being! Simplicity or complexity is not the criterion for pricing, kid. Amazing how many people start pulling the victim card whenever they discover how gullible they are.

I wouldn't know because you have thus far failed to produce an example. Until I see exhibit A, I'm not going with the idea here.
