I enjoyed seeing your Still Life photos. The lid to the serving piece has nice art as well.
Flattery, when used insincerely is nearly always instantly recognizable.....nearly always. :)
Guilt attempts annoy me and make me instantly distrustful. If a person or company uses guilt tactics to try to get me to do something or give something, it becomes my immediate opinion that they don't really have a valid reason for what they want to happen. If they know they can't present something honestly for their case, they try to guilt others into doing what they want. I'm sure it works for some things, but not with me.
It's true though, both are used many times to try to control others.
Greetings @jacey.boldart ,
