There are times, usually when the cost isn't worth the time or effort, to let things go. If someone makes joke about you then you don't always need to defend yourself if it's just a bit of fun. In fact, in that situation you'll show much more insecurity if you feel the need to defend yourself and ultimately the joke is harmless.

i just want to point out that I don't rant and rave. I point out each failure or situation with an example of the failure AND a suggestion of how it should have been according to what in my opinion ought to be a reasonable expectation. Where possible, I provide a recommended solution to ensuring the same problem doesn't repeat itself. When I say I get demanding, the wording looks more like, "I thus
require a refund." Never do I use the word 'request'. Never do I rave.
Yes, you are right in that there are times it does seem better to let go and just avoid a lot of trouble. When the situation involves wrongs committed only towards myself for instance, I completely back down. However, when I see someone else being treated wrongly or am part of a larger group receiving the same I seem to grow a backbone.
