You have to admit that you do manage to irritate a
significant number of
people What you may honestly see as false allegations may be seen in
quite a different and equally honest light by others. Sometimes it's
not worth it to remark on every perceived offence.
Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by
stupidity? It's a good general principle. Stupidity or malice, I'd
still rather not let someone bad mouth me and not do anything about
it.
