It may be a little bit too late for this advice, but you should
have collected typical excerpts from the hate-mail (sine ira et
studio) including the name of the senders. From time to time you
could have posted this collection in a suitable newsgroup where
you are known (this one or comp.windows.x.i386unix). So the people
who wrote hate-mail would have been exposed for their ignorant
"rightfully smiting the heathen and thus saving the world".
What's more, nearly everybody would have enjoyed a good laugh
at the expense of those people !
