My mom was prone to using a lot of overrun phrases. One of her favorites was the old "honey" over "vinegar" line, that we can get more being nice than being nasty. She was right then. She's right now.
While it's true that you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar, if you pull their wings off they'll eat whatever you give them.
