Further to my earlier blog. Hat Tip to Lawson Narse for this little gem.
It would appear to fulfil the neccessary criterea for grooming. Both adult and children.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_grooming
"Child grooming involves psychological manipulation in the form of positive reinforcement, using activities t...hat are typically legal but later lead to illegal activities. This is done to gain the child's trust as well as the trust of those responsible for the child's well-being. Additionally, a trusting relationship with the family means the child's parents are less likely to believe potential accusations."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult_grooming
Although it is a common belief that grooming is most relevant to children, the same or similar psychological processes are used to exploit adults. As with child grooming, adult grooming typically involves:
* positive reinforcement (gifts, money, praise, superficial charm, flattery, smiling etc)
Sometimes Childish, Sometimes Puerile, Sometimes full of invective.
