No, you don't seem to be bothered at all; those attacks seem to
wash off you like water off a duck's back, or scandals off of Bill
Clinton's resume. ;-)

Drafting takes about five seconds. In fact, let me do one right now:
"Please note that messages to the emacs-orgmode list are expected
to be civil and focused toward our mutual interest of Org
mode. /Ad hominem/ or other attacks of a personal nature will not
be tolerated by the community."
Any strenuous objections?

I think that's a great idea!, actually. My mental catalogue of
excellent posts probably isn't as extensive as yours, but even
just last night I got a great response that fits a Hall of Fame
in my book. Surely there must be other people who got a great
response to some question they asked at some point in their past.
