I am sick of defending myself, and I am not going to keep on doing it.

I never had any desire to defend myself, and never did I seriously think about it.

I think I did very well against everyone who tried to defend me.

You can't defend the indefensible - anything you say sounds self-serving and hypocritical.

You can't defend. You can't prevent. The only thing you can do is detect and respond.

To be forced to defend oneself is an inherently undesirable position to be in. The focus shifts from ideas to the person conveying them.

I only direct in self-defense.

I will stand strong to defend people even if I don't agree with them.

Everybody certainly has the right to defend themselves. That's not to say that they should defy common sense by avoiding or diffusing confrontation. And that's very, very important.
