As stated.
No. Scaring the person (if he hates spiders, put him in a room of spiders) is at least as effective.
Or threatening to kill loved ones.
Are you planning anything we should know about?
@elbanditoroso: What are you saying? Why should I blackmail anyone?
Being the victim of subterfuge is worse, in my book. Especially when the person responsible is unknown. Being framed is a more common definition for subterfuge, in this instance.
No, of course not. For example,watching my child be deliberately hurt by someone would be worse.
@canidmajor Great point. Hurting someone I love is far worse than anything you could do to me.
Seems like a peculiar question. No, it would really depend on the specifics.
No.
I would certainly nominate physical torture for the number-one spot.
