Reputation is very important. But, we also need to keep in mind that reputation we have among specific groups, will differ from group to group.
It would be a very major concern if we had a good reputation among evil people and a poor reputation among pious people.
Our reputation will differ among different groups. We do not have anything that could be caled an overall correct reputaion, just the opinions of people that think they know us.
We need to always be aware of how we appear to others and ask ourselves why we give that appearance. he reputation may be wrong and not be what we are, but we need to understand what it is we do or do not do that gives people the impression that is what we are.
It would probably be a very good thing if we had a bad reputation among the people of Nazi Germany and a good reputation if we had lived among the first followers of the Prophet(PBUH)
erm was jus about too say that word for word :-[

the best statements i remembaa are, hadhrat Umar (Ra) said once "even if a man is as straight as a arrow, he will still have critics"
so even if your perfect, you will have people who will talk lol, the way to see it is, people have mouths, they will use them, and if they use them badly Allah (Swt) will deaal with them ooo yeah
