Shouldn't be. It's fairly classic human nature.

There's lots of folks with axes to grind, that are excellent spinners, and lots of people that are maybe...a bit insecure, shall we say, that eat that spin, and turn it into venom.

It's just that there's a lot of really unbalanced folks out there, and even more folks who like to set those people off.
