There is a big difference between constructive criticism and destructive criticism. A lot of people can't deliver constructive criticism except in a destructive way so it's a double whammy.
You work hard at the clarinet - can you play at the standard you want to be at and should be at? Do you play worse than everyone else? And what kind of band is it? Unless it's a pro or semipro band why is anyone getting bent out of shape?
If it's a community band e.g., surely the object is to have fun and to learn, not to cut each other at every opportunity.
However never forget that there are some people out there who are just mean - and mean people suck. There's not much you can do except not let them bring you to their own unhappy level. As I recall you're in Oz - does the local culture suggest a way to resolve this to your satisfaction?
