“Certainly we should defend our honour, but it’s like the schoolyard bully trying to taunt or provoke you into having a fight; you shouldn’t always rise to the bait.

“It might give us a fleeting sense of passing satisfaction, but … the best way to deal with a bully is sometimes just not to choose to engage.”
