Of course, because there's no doubt that your web page
is spiteful,

[Spiteful implies a mean or malicious desire for (often petty)
revenge.]

[a desire to inflict a wrong or injury on someone, usually in
return for one received.]

>due to *your* spiteful feelings towards me.

No, due to the given definition of the term "spiteful", not due
to my feelings toward you. Like you say, "And [I'll] no doubt
choose to continue to think of it in THAT WAY." Rupert
should no better than to give in to "petty revenge". You, well,
maybe you don't know any better and can be excused.
