Thanks for the detailed update.

I try to not let what others on message boards say about or to me bother me too much. When I first started moderating the "Investing and Personal Finance" section at Suite101 back in the 1990s, my boss and mentor (a VC) would keep pounding me with the 10/80/10 principle.
  • 10% will love you no matter what
  • 10% will hate you no matter what
  • 80% are there to learn something and don't really care about the personal crap
thus concentrate on the 90% who value what you offer and be polite to then ignore the 10% who hate you as it will piss them off even more while making you look superior in the eyes of the others.
