This is a comparatively well written article and I think it would be upvoted if not for appearing somewhat dark at the end (rule #8). But I think this is part of life. I didn't learn that rule until late in life from others who had to learn in early - and for good measure. Weak forms of it can save your life in school apparently.

I think it has the opposite problem. In today's climate it strikes me as not nearly aggressive enough to be effective.

It is, I should note, a Defense article. I will not write an article on how to attack.

Then why does it almost read like a surrender article?
