Poll: Do you care if people insult you behind your back?
I don't mind if people say things behind my back; what I don't know can't hurt me
I always want the opportunity to defend myself, so I prefer they say it in front of me, even if it hurts
If it's something I can't control, I'd rather they say it when I'm not there, but if I can control it (like personality) then in front of me
If it's something I can control, I'd rather they say it when I'm not there, but if I can't control it (like looks) then in front of me

RE: Do you care if people insult you behind your back?
I think it's rather dishonourable to talk crap about people behind their back and then when the person is there, smile and pretend that you like them. My principle is that if you say something bad about someone when they're not there, be willing to say it also in their presence.

As for defending yourself, I don't think you can really defend yourself against people's opinions. If someone wants to think a certain thing about you they will.
