I have found that calmly, firmly and politely stating my mind directly with people on things like control and manipulation tends to meet with success. If not, I make my point more clear the second time, and if it takes a third time, I make my point as blatant as possible without being threatening or rude. If that doesn't get it, they just want to pick a fight, and I don't have tome to waste on people like that.
