That’s a more nuanced take, and I appreciate it. I will offer a caveat though. When your opponent isn’t going to show any restraint on their side, then you have very little reason to maintain it on yours. If you’re not prepared to meet force with force, your opposition will have no incentive to bargain in good faith. They can quell you with violence without consequences.
If you’re going to speak softly and carry a big stick, it is necessary at times to remind your interlocutor that you do in fact know how to use that stick, when they refuse to lower their tone to match yours.
