It wasn't an accusation, it was an extenuating circumstance. I
can accept praise as long as it's rather ambivalent. If it's
too high praise, it just gets embarrassing.

For example, I'm much more inclined to believe someone enjoyed
themselves if they say "Hey man, your singing sucks! ;)" rather
than "I really thought for a minute that I was hearing the original
cast from Chess!" (real example by the way; I was singing Anthem)
Sarcasm just feels more genuine to me than smarmy stock phrases.
