 No, No, No, this is absolutely not the approach to take. This silly
 approach
 will absolutely not work to our benefit. This is completely
 convoluted and
 very stupid logic to want to start "beating" people once they don't
 do what
 you want. Remember, we need something from them, and they need
 nothing from
 us, so it behooves us to kindly, very kindly request an ear for a
 few
 minutes in order to explain our plight. You must exhaust all
 resources
 before getting aggressive. What if after a kind request the other
 party
 agrees and begins to help? then all is well and we benefit
 immensely. On the
 other hand, what if you start doing stupid things such as getting
 very
 aggressive and threatening at the offset then demand help? The other
 party
 will not only not want to help you, but they will have a very
 incorrect view
 of you and who you represent. Yes, the squeaky gear might get the
 oil, but
 we're not talking mechanics here, we're talking human interactions.

 Gees,

 Matthew
