"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

I'll take being a harder to find likable by people I have no desire to be liked by to make myself a harder mark. The honest ones will understand. The malicious were never worth being close with, and I'm doing the world a service by getting the borderline enlightened. Sufficiently advanced stupidity being indistinguishable from malice is also something to keep in mind.
