I've believed everything you said, when you said it.
The difference between
"My paper got rejected because a reviewer dug up some vaguely similar thing from 3 years ago"
and
"I mentioned the other project in my paper and pointed out the distinctions."
seems to me to be quite important. After hearing the first by itself, the second came as a surprise.

I'm pretty exhausted from dealing with this and now explaining it to you but I have an update: I've just now gotten an email from the PC (after emailing them yesterday pointing out the flaws in reviewer 3's reasoning) saying I'm welcome to come present (and highlight the differences) in a "lightning talk" that won't be published in the proceedings. Looks like they're going with the "do it for the exposure" influencer model. I've declined the "opportunity".
