Defend yourself online.
Ok. Defend yourself more online.

Defend yourself online. Right!

[continue as needed to staunch the hole in your ego]
Lot's of people fail at startups. That's actually the norm, despite the way that people perceive the market. Only the most asinine people would make fun of you for just not succeeding. But the difference between most people's attitude and your attitude: you seem to think that you did everything right, that everyone else conspired against you.
That kind of mindset is not the way to succeed in this business.
