I had an embarrassing incident where someone sent a group email to dozens of people chastising me. I was not wrong, just had to deal with this nasty person who was out to get her way at all costs. I replied all, defending my actions and saying how I don't appreciate this person blasting me to everyone, and the head of this organization sent another email to everyone calling it an unfortunate exchange, which chastised and embarrassed me even more.

So, my point is, saying nothing that can ever be used against you is probably always best.
