Can you give a link about the definition of manipulation?

I closed this question because to me it feels like it's asking to judge whether a particular person, who used this phrase, is being manipulative or not. That's simply not something we can address here. Further, we require questions be somehow framed in psychology and neuroscience: we need some referenced connection to what you already know and what has prompted the question for it to be answerable here.

@BryanKrause You should read it again then, since I don't mention anyone in any form whatsoever. Anyway... my fault this is just not the correct forum to ask which is a shame.
