I once attended a 5 day “Time Management” course. Trainer promised we’d get Friday off, but later decided not to. I complained, and got in trouble. Was made to apologize to the Personnel manager responsible for training.
Drag them into court on bizarre pretzel logic charges supported by a pathological liar and prosecuted by a racist prosecution minority hire affirmative action token to try to slander and bankrupt the defendant is hip these days. Just like, as the Beatles say, back in the U.S.S.R.
Unfortunately, some folks need that stick upside the head to get the point (or to at least acknowledge that there IS one) when all conversational skills fail and even THAT doesn’t always work.

Rat’s logic is sound. It comes down to how much time you have to waste on resolution.

If you’re going to use a stick, at least commit and knock them out instead of mere ineffective beating .
Knocked out is much quieter than a post-beaten person too.chris_o42 about 1 month ago

Tragically, a “big stick” (war) is typically the way nations resolve differences of opinion.
