When people make negative comments about the size of the ex250:
People who engage in denigrating behavior towards others which is designed to result in themselves feeling superior are usually doing it because they spend most of their time feeling inferior.
I usually just feel bad for them, because going through life with that degree of insecurity is probably pretty tough. The most they'll usually get out of me is something akin to "I'm sorry to hear you feel that way", because I am - I feel sorry for them, and hope that things in their life improve to the point where they no longer feel the need to try to make others feel bad so that they can feel better about themselves.
