Or as I like to paraphrase it “Don’t give anyone the fight they came looking for. Give them a different fight”.

The problem you're missing though is that you're assuming there's only one way of fighting business-to-business, straight head on. There are other ways.

For example, a grassroots guerrilla warfare style business approach can be done, versus just a straight head-to-head combat, business-wise.

That is not the scenario I described, but it is imaginative.

Failing that, guillotines are a very fun game indeed.

There's no need to insinuate/promote actual violence. The center will not hold if everyone is trying to tear each other's throats out.

Now go be dumb somewhere else.

And there's no need to insult others just to promote yourself and your opinions, that just turns people off to listening to your ideas and what you're trying to say.
