It is exactly the same behavior in my opinion. It isn't a stretch at all for me to see it that way. You were both being manipulative. Because you think the ends justify the means (I think), you think there is a difference. I do not think you are ends are in any way better than CH's, and I've never thought the ends justify the means. I've always thought that means ARE ends.

I do not consider my
behavior in this episode rising to any level of disgracefulness, so I am not
embarrassed by it.


Amen.

You and me both.

Gee. There was a lot of disgracefulness going around, by this definition, when people were trying to manipulate me into a compromise. Yet I don't see you going after those behaviors.
