"Nobody ever gets that really mad at somebody unless they are telling the truth."

--Gregory Cochran

Nobody ever gets that really mad at somebody unless they think they are telling the truth.

Which based on feedback I would modify to:

"Nobody ever gets that really mad at somebody unless they fear he will be believed."
