Your logic is: “Someone challenged me to a fist fight, so I declined, followed them home, and stabbed them and their family to death in their sleep, which makes me smart.”
That is not the scenario I described, but it is imaginative. I’ll give you that.
Here, let an old chinese guy explain it to you…
“If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected .”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
Or as I like to paraphrase it “Don’t give anyone the fight they came looking for. Give them a different fight”.
I guess the only smart thing to do is to track you down and murder your whole family. In case you’re wondering, this is what an insane overreaction would look like.
You’re a psychopath, this isn’t an actual war, and you’re not doing a good machiavelli.
Even Von Clausewitz understood the continuum of conflict between politics and hostilities, you just seem like a neckbeard who wants to go mall ninja.

No, my friend, it makes you a fucking psychopath.

Now go be dumb somewhere else.
Wow, you just insulted me.
