This post is sort a pot and kettle situation, as you also write in a highly emotionally charged way.

The sub-clause "you're one of those dishonest people that resorts to emotional manipulation to try to get their way" alone laden with emotionally manipulative affect that this reads like a self-referential example.

"You're one of those" is a phrase often, and certainly in this case, used for the purposes of othering.

"dishonest people" speaks for itself.

"resorts to emotional manipulation to try to get their way" assumes bad faith on behalf of somebody you barely know.

There's a lot I agree with on in your post, but the irony doesn't exactly stop with jodrellblank.
