Or ban me from a forum for "trolling around" (and I must really say that I actually feel very offended and rejected for the fact that they call my opinions "trollish"...)?

Maybe you should try to understand why they think that you are trolling around.
If you don't understand the culture of the forum or chat, you don't know what is appropriate in that enviroment and therefore may step over some boundries.
Especially in forums people often don't react to the intention of your message but to what you wrote.
I can say "I know where you are coming from" and "You are saying X" without implying that the person I'm talking with consciously thinks those things and I can be right (naturally I can also be wrong).
It might be that you are too much attached to your own intentions that you miss the conversation. Ideas don't orginate in your own head but are flooting around and only pass through your head.
In a forum conversation people often respond to the idea that you want to present even when you don't understand the idea.

I would be some sort of a pioneer if I were able to be influential and charismatic, and at the same time tell weird, non-mainstream opinions, without being laughed at...

Most really influential people get laughed at. It comes with the territory as Steves often says.
Look at Bush. He is relativly influential, has crazy ideas like that there might be biological weapons in Iraq and he still is capable of pushing through his ideas.

Let me actually paste the words of the person who wrote to me today. Look, it really offends me. How would you feel if they wrote to you this way? I feel a bit angry.

Take 100% responsibilty for your actions. You did something that lead to that post.
If you are offended by those words you have a problem and have to work on yourself.
