You choose the language you want to use. One person's tantrum is another person's negotiation. If it accomplishes your goal, that's all that matters. Objective success metrics will always trump feelings.

Don't trust internet randos, of course, but I preach what I practice and it has served me well in life.

Sure, you do you. But again, you should understand that many people will not listen to you because of the strategies you’re using. I try my hardest not to work with people who conduct themselves that way, and I don’t listen to anything they have to say because I can’t trust that they’re being honest.

Which is why you should only use these strategies if you have the leverage necessary. If you don't (or if the situation doesn't dictate the need), you would opt for alternatives. Operating in such a fashion (if my comments did not make it clear above) is a last resort and calculated risk.
