After getting fed up with uneducated boneheads and their "invasion of privacy" and "spying" comments about our aircraft, I wrote up a blog post citing the top 5 reasons drones suck for spying.

Within a day I'd received hundreds of shares/likes on FB, G+, and twitter. Then my article was STOLEN by two websites. After some wrangling, both sites have now taken down the article. One of the sites was exposed as copying a LOT of other material and four other writers had their materials taken down.
Anyway, there are some decent points (I hope) which can be used to communicate that most of us are not flying to spy on someone, but to enjoy our hobby or do professional aerial work.
