May be true, but intentional avoidance -causes- interest. A simple statement such as "An event occurred where some words were spoken and exception was taken, and incorrectly escalated to the DPL" would surely be adequate to downplay the event, head off rubbernecking, and provide a minimal non-fact for context of the conversation?
