the day and then remember there are many here who do not feel (or very likely do not feel) as your detractors.
I may not know you well, but well enough to believe that you are a fighter. That is what we need right now. Enjoy the day, then come back with a determined outlook. None of us are free from conflict and it is highly likely that if we are opinionated enough (as I know I AM), then we have some staunch detractors. We probably also have some that we have convinced closer toward our opinions on some very important issues. If that happens once--even in a year-- and they go on and convince friends and family on an issue that might "bear fruit" legislative-wise or election candidate choice, we've made even that small difference.
So, take the day. 
An addendum: If this is on one specific issue, feel free to PM me. I might have some suggestions as to how to approach posting on a particularly inflammatory issue that can prevent your detractors from having any possible stand to cause you problems with your post. Something I don't always do on my own, but can be dispassionate with others.
