Richard, I have supported you on this list before because the content of your messages has often been of high caliber (in my mind, anyway, I know others will disagree).
However, I implore you to just let it go. Face the fact that there will always be people who dislike you. I'm becoming one of them, unless you can drop your indignation. Someone is rude to you? So what. Someone accuses you of being rude? So what. Let's focus on the fun stuff, shall we? This is mind-numbingly boring.
