Robert Mann points out one of the techniques often used to try and sway
a skeptic audience - supply a little well chosen information, direct it
well and hey presto "you" are considered as a kind inoffensive
organization on really there to help, like the kind old uncle.

When that doesn't work, well watch how quickly the technique changes to
deriding and character (not necessarily individual) destruction - the
don't trust them, they don't understand what its all about etc.

Fighting against "Gaucho" - we have had many techniques directed against
our work - but the truth is coming out, slowly but surely.
