If you published it, then it is appropriate for others to attempt to replicate it. That what we're supposed to do in science. If we don't, then it isn't science. You should be happy that someone not only bothered to read your work at all (many articles appear to be read by almost no one), but even found it interesting enough that they wanted to do it for themselves to ensure it was true. Failures to replicate should be respectful, of course, but should also be crystal clear about what they did and what they found. Nothing is gained by beating about the bush. If your emotional constitution is such that you object to the very possibility that someone might attempt to check your work and finding it wanting, then you went into the wrong profession and you should probably get out. Science isn't about polite ambiguities. It is about finding out what is true (and what is not).
