this is covert and quite often the person upon whom it is exerted remains unsuspecting beyond the [[FACT|fact]] that he knows he is very unhappy. This is the coward's method of [[DOMINATION|domination]]. The person using it feels that he is less than the [[INDIVIDUAL|individual]] upon whom he is using it and has not the [[HONESTY|honesty]] or fortitude to admit the fact to himself. He then begins to pull the other individual "down to size," using small carping criticisms. The one who is seeking to dominate strikes heavily at the [[POINT|point]] of [[PRIDE|pride]] and capability of his target and yet, if at any moment the target challenges the nullifier, the person using the mechanism claims he is [[DOING|doing]] so solely [[OUT_OF|out of]] assistance and friendship or disavows completely that it has been done.
