Apparently Machiavelli was onto something
Do you have to talk like this? How difficult is it to rewrite this as "I don't believe this is the message conveyed in The Prince."
There is always someone out there trying to push on people just like you and the phrasing is not really that offensive and as one would say "tongue-in-cheek".
Do you enjoy finding weak people telling them "don't do this" when they barely step outside of "being utterly polite"?
So there must be something specifically interesting for you I suppose.
