Without revealing too much information, there's a group of people whom I used to call "friends," who are no longer my friends. Before and during our falling out, we had engaged in several debates, during which I was accused of many flaws which are simply not true (not to mention, the former friends had demonstrated all of the flaws that they accused me of). Since then, I have found myself being shunned by some of my peers, and I suspect that there may be a connection between the two. While I have yet to confirm any such connection, I would still like to be prepared to take the issue to court if necessary.
