That's like saying if a cancer cell invades your body, cut it out once but should it return, leave the rest alone. As long as lies are being told, they need to be challenged.
The idea that charm and civility counts more than honesty is one I do not support. Most conmen and shysters are the most charming and civil people you will ever meet, it's the key tool of their trade.
If you don't want to fight, that's your choice, but exhorting other to allow lies and dishonesty to flourish under the false premise of "civility" is a tacit statement that the truth isn't worth fighting for.
