wow beyond77, what a nasty mess! i just read the whole post on this and if you are reporting yourself accurately (and i believe you are) then you have chosen to "take the high road" and not stoop to pettiness, retaliation or office politics to gain favor with the others in the office. by doing the actual job you haven't had TIME to be doing anything wrong.
sometimes you just have to do what you think is the right thing and then hold your ground. i would agree with the speaker who says "if God brings you to it, He will bring you through it". i have always found God to be willing to help me - especially when i've been able to place a problem in His capable hands and step back and let it rest there.
do all the venting you need here, where it is safe. then just keep your head on the job at work and focus on it and not on your "office reputation". place your popularity into God's hands if you are able and then just do the job. you can do that and you can get through this.
i'm sorry but sometimes there is NO good solution. you can do it all correctly and it may turn out sour. BUT, the way you have been doing the job if you had to walk away or were let go you would go with your head held high. that will help you no matter where you are working.
i learned that on the jobs i did. i reminded myself that in my faith my ultimate boss is always God. so i work as if i am reporting to God and it keeps me honest and hard-working AND peaceful (most of the time). 
i respect the job you have been doing and i worked phone lines before and know a little bit of what you may have faced. it was different but one time i answered 263 phone calls for information on the Coast Guard in a 7 hour shift with no break. when the pressure goes on for a long time it does get really tough. pat yourself on the back from me!
hugs, 
leslie
