Spammers dont like me. I report them where I can...I beleive I have a revenge thingy, but either way, someone has done a joe job on me. Is there anything I can do or do I just need to sit it out?

You have my sympathies. A couple of years back I got a slew of emails accusing me of being a f
SPAMmer, and graphically describing where I should stick my computer. It was because I'd complained to abuse@somedomainorother; the SPAMmer themself was harvesting the addresses from the abuse reports and spoofing them on the outgoing SPAM. 
My eamil account was even closed briefly until I explained to my provider what had caused the rush of complaints about me. 
It took almost a month for my email to become usable again. Attention spans on the web have got shorter in the last couple of years, so I suspect you'll just have to tough it out for the next week or two.
