XXXX uses pacing phrases to implant his leads. Three of his favorite hypnotic paces are "that's why I stand here tonight", "now is the time", and "this moment." These are things the hypnotist says that are verifiably true, and used to lower our critical factor defenses to allow implantation of subconscious messages.

Your 'problem' mate is that you can't tolerate others who ALSO have a 'highly active critical factor' that works (and may even be higher than yours!) ... after all, you say of Mudcat "a forum where the members like to ridicule opposing viewpoints. That's fine".., so you admit to doing it too, but really get upset when given that acceptable (by your own terms of discourse) treatment.
