A manipulator would never get people as upset as Paul gets people on this Wiki on a routine basis. He's just got no social skills and heaping ton of arrogance. That's all. He's not evil, he's inept (at dealing with other human beings). That's pretty the opposite of the requirements to be a manipulator. Not to argue, but I've actually seen him try to manipulate people and situations, since this has started.

He may not try to manipulate people on the regular, but I think that is more due to how comfortable he is in his position, and the fact that he has, as you said, a "heaping ton of arrogance."

I think that the lack of social skills, here, is more due to the fact that he doesn't see them as necessary, not that he is completely incapable.

And I get that, because I'm kind of the same, socially. But, I'm also not trying to run a community according to my will alone... so, yeah.
