Somebody at work put up a poster, I believe it was from Red Hat linux, with 
a famous Gandhi quote: "first they ignore you, then they fight you, then you 
win..."

Probably normal part of the process, I think it's best to avoid being 
defensive and continue business as usual :)

I *really* liked your article, it's nice to read such an well written piece  
with unreserved enthousiasm and passion about D.
