And I get instantly defensive.

So don't respond to their distortions maybe even when they say you've done this or misinformation or hostility. It's just give them a biff response.

And they're going to go, well, I'm going to ignore that because no one will believe that. But then people believe it. A great example, Domino's pizza about 10 years ago. This is a great story. I love it. And I also eat Domino's pizza. I won't get into the details, but somebody said something that grossed people out and their stock just dropped. Two employees did something to the pizza.
