Chell, I'm a little late getting here. But I hope you are feeling better now. Some people are just rude, others have rude days. I've never seen you be rude to anyone so I don't get how someone would want to make you feel bad.
Anyway, if someone was just having a bad day, they need to apologize.
In the meantime, from reading this thread, you've found a lot of people that love you.
