Sorry you had to be subjected to that kind of invective, even if you were not a direct party to it. It's tough to see that kind of nonsense - even from a third person perspective - without wanting to retaliate in some kind.
No, I think you took the right road. I think most of veterans, of all stripes have borne the verbal and oft-times anonymous brunt of the ignorant and inexperienced...
You're doing what most of us do, put yer shoulder down and muscle past it.
Allow me to be all impressed with myself for a moment for being able to quote Lao Tzu:
When a superior man hears of the Tao, he immediately begins to embody it. When an average man hears of the Tao, he half believes it, half doubts it. When a foolish man hears of the Tao, he laughs out loud. If he didn't laugh, it wouldn't be the Tao.
