This is called being “prickly”. It is a behavior pattern that results in people eventually thinking twice before attacking you. “Nice” has gotten us to where we are today. “Prickly” is what we need now.
Drop the “ly” and you may be on to something...
no, prickly is not....neither is nice....but this is petulant and petty. Strong, unabashed, all is good...but spare me the infantile whining.

All too true. “Nice” aka bent over and lubed-up (See GW Bush, Boner, Mcconnell, Ryan)
