When I speak of fighting back, I'm talking about making them pay a cost, and not feeling constrained to play fair for their sake. They've forfeited that consideration.
If you have overriding reasons to tell the truth, do so. But not to preserve value for them. When someone attacks you, it's time to destroy values for them.
Agreed, however, as I argue here the biggest reason for not lying for your cause isn't for their sake, it's for yours.
