Hm. For those who were swearing at you, you should have gotten screenshots of that and reported it to a staffer, chu know.
But, anyway, I'm sorry they put you through that. :L
I never did see the point in getting on people about their characters. The fact is, in FH, there's a limited number of markings for everyone to use, so every now and then, there's going to be some overlapping of character design. They may not be exact, but usually it's unintentional.
In the case that it is an intentional copy of someone's character, it's no use getting flustered over it. If anything, they should have taken it as a compliment on their creation, or vice versa, if someone copies you.
Thankfully, I've never experienced anything this severe regarding character design.
I am sorry to hear that all of those guys were getting on you about your character, though. But I suppose the best thing to do is to just walk away from them. Let the drama llamas do their thing. You just worry about what you do, as an individual. So long as you're doing what's right, that's what matters. c:
