Either one may or may not be applicable.  Depends on your view.

"When the country is ruled with a light hand
  The people are simple.
  When the country is ruled with severity,
  The people are cunning."

So, I will be cunning in light of this severity.  ;)

"... the stiff and unbending is the disciple of death.
  The gentle and yielding is the disciple of life.
  Thus an army without flexibility never wins a battle.
  A tree that is unbending is easily broken.
  The hard and strong will fall.
  The soft and weak will overcome."

I prefer an inclusive peering policy instead of an exclusive one.
I think it makes more sense in terms of building a quality network.
But then, I don't make money selling high-bandwidth ip transit, so
perhaps this is just my view of the peering elephant.
