Your response didn't sound mean at all.....

Crying or a happy dance are you only choices here? Come on...

I would suggest that you focus on what you are going to do about yourself. No one can ever control what others do but you can certainly take care of yourself and manuever about around these people. Focusing on them and if they are right, wrong, nice or mean just distracts you from focusing on the work that you need to do with and for yourself...
