DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY?

[HairOfTheDog]

Humoring people into a false sense of security is a good way to get some people to do what you want. Then again there is that "trust" thing.

Why wouldn't you just be honest and trust-worthy from the start?

Stable adults are already secure and don't appreciate insincere attempts to manipulate them by insecure adults.

It's weak.
