It is just not possible for me to drag myself down to their level, or fight on their terms

And I can see why - you start out w/a defeatist attitude! Roll up those sleeves and come out swinging in 'your' war against any evil thing! You fight your war, not their's!

Fighting on our terms certainly seems to throw them off their game.

You fight your war, not their’s!

Absolutely, I saw George Foreman lose a fight to Jimmy Young because he forgot to fight his own fight. Foreman defeated himself in that fight. I also saw George Foreman come back years later as the “old man” and destroy a young man in his twenties by fighting his own fight. In that fight Foreman used his huge arms and his height to put up a defense the younger man could not begin to penetrate and then at every opportunity he knocked the stuffings out of the young guy until the boy failed to come out of his corner at the bell. When asked why he didn’t come out he replied that he was tired of taking all those shots. He knew he couldn’t land a blow so he refused to keep taking a beating.
