I have been hurt in this game by other players, yes.
My best advice is be honest  - with them and yourself.  It's okay to admit that you're hurt by something.  In fact, I think coming clean and saying, "That really hurt me" takes the pressure off of you to remain "unmoved", which just builds up in bitterness over time, and then you're susceptible to react horribly over something small.  (Or at least, in my case)
And being honest with them in explaining calmly why it was harmful for you is important. Â Too many people think one fight and it's all over - I've hurt someone, now they hate me! - when in reality, humans hurt each other and that's relatively normal. Â But it shouldn't be tolerated, especially if it moves into the realm of bullying.
Honesty truly is the best policy, both for yourself and for others. Â Since becoming more honest with myself and others in my own life, I have felt a lot of grudges and bitterness fall off of my shoulders as I accept human nature and responsibility for my feelings. Â =]
