Alright, I could give you my definition of what I think "manipulate" means, but that still leaves the debate open. So, to skip through all the bullshit here's the dictionary's definition of it;

It's obvious that definition #1 and #4 are not what we're talking about. #3 says to tamper with or falisfy, which I DID do to your thread, but it also says for PERSONAL GAIN. Did I gain anything out of that? I didn't make any money, say "Oh, and Mimesis is the best!" or anything like that. So, by that definition. . I didn't manipulate anything. And, last but not least, definition #2 doesn't fit because I didn't alter or influence anybody else's thoughts of you guys. I said OYD is a group of faggots, but I haven't seen one person who was neutral on the topic come in like, "Oh, OYD must be faggots if that's what the title of Tha Q's thread says." Hasn't happened. Tha Q is the one who typed the thread, I just closed it. That's not manipulating anything, according to the definition of the word. The only possible arguement you could have is that by changing the title of the thread I manipulated something, but please show me where that's happened. As of now, I haven't manipulated anything.
But, please. . tell me that I have. Just be sure to use the definition of the word to explain it. Lmao. You got nothing on me, faggot.
