Sigh another tedious, transparent and not very clever loaded question, its like a logical fallacy factory. Tone control, find it, crank it all the way up, panic over, problem solved. Its like asking, 'do you like beating your wife HandyAndy?'

Paranormal Activity: "The name is derived from the Greek *peri, meaning "in the vicinity of". While paranormal phenomena remains scientifically questionable ("beyond the range of normal experience or scientific explanation" ), perinormal phenomena can eventually be shown to be "skeptic-approved"."

You don't deny that you are accused ~ rightly or wrongly ~ of cheating. In so far as you are aware, are all clan leaders accused of cheating for similar reasons and to the same degree as you?

impuissant , adj - weak, powerless.

Both the adjective "impuissant" and the noun "impuissance" came to English from Middle French. They are derived from the prefix in- (meaning 'not' ) and the noun "puissance," which means "power" and is a word in English in its own right. Puissance derives from the verb poer, meaning "to be able or "to be powerful," and is ultimately related to the same Latin roots that gave us words such as "power" and "potent." While both "puissant" and "impuissance" first appeared in English during the 15th century, "impuissant" did not make its first appearance in our language until 1629.

This isn't a loaded question:

He does not understand the difference that is why he keeps on insisting that I have cheated when in fact I have done nothing of the sort. He is not interested in reality.
