Understood: I probably should have said accusatory instead of confrontational. I didn't mean to say that Reid was like the bad cop half of good cop/bad cop.

I should state that I haven't had Reid directly from Reid & Associates, Inc. I've had elements of Reid from Wicklander-Zulawski & Associates, Inc. The two firms may be slightly different in their approach to the accusatory technique.
