“People are not dogs. A refusal to jump through your hoop in no way suggests it can’t be done. It can easily be done; you just have a knack, a gift, really, of making people NOT want to do it.”

Even a dog has to have some motivation.

And HLPhat makes me want to slap him/her. Browbeating and being condescending are not great motivators.

For sure!
I once told a school principal that you don’t bring kids UP by putting them down.
Same here.
