Then what the hell have I been playing on?

That is eloquent beyond belief. Reflects my view perfectly.

Yes, even that last paragraph.

It's because people lie. And people accuse others of lying.

None of that's polite.

If I accuse you of not paying attention, and you feel like you have been paying attention, that might be a strategy I use to make you second guess yourself, make you question your awareness. But you might think I'm being rude.

None of that's nice.

My greatest losses came from people emotionally manipulating me. Emotional manipulation isn't nice, and it doesn't feel good, but it's a part of the game. So if I say "I don't care that your house exploded, you're bad," it's not be being rude. Sorry about the house, but you're bad.
