Do it anyway. If those people don't care how they appear to you (and they're generally wrong-headed and uninformed) then, hard as it may be not to take it personally, you shouldn't care either. Too many of these people are professional trolls, too eager to view a familiar name and/or topic and pull out their pens with the same old trie poison. We need more people who make sense, and if you're one of them, then be proud of it.
