Sounds like you are wearing quite a large chip on your shoulder. Sorry.
1) None of them held a gun to your head to get you to the point you are in. You did it to yourself.
2) Maybe you should take the position of thanking them for being rude and motivating you.
I'm not saying they are right. I'm not agreeing with them. And I'm certainly not agreeing with you calling them stupid out of your own embarrassment. You got yourself in this mess and you need to get yourself out. Yes, they shouldn't do it. But I'm sorry, that is just human nature. There is nothing lashing out about it that you are going to change. Sorry but that is the simple truth of the matter.
I applaud you for what you are doing. You should applaud yourself. But you need to take a step back and let that chip fall before it does more damage to you, someone we all care about.
