I feel your pain. I had something similar happen to me -- though not to the same degree. Recently I was selling posters based on a meme unique to my campus -- the designs were our own (so we had the copyright), but the original concept the memes were based on was not. (Imagine you sold a photo of your own cat with the text "I can haz cheezburger" -- it's still your copyright, right?)
Anyway, some guy started posting that we were fraudsters, were raping culture, etc. It's funny, our troll sounded just like yours -- obviously intelligent and articulate, but took something trivial (internet memes) way too seriously. I really can't understand the mindset of these people -- when I noticed that reddit was becoming a waste of time, I didn't post a long rant about it -- I just stopped going to reddit.
If it's any comfort, know that such people likely have little else going on in their life, and trolling in defence of their online "tribe" is all they have. If you're actually creating stuff, being entrepreneurial, putting yourself out there, you're already beating them.
