You are not wrong. 
Even when I was younger, my was honest to a fault. I actually got let go a couple of times because of it. Such is life, but at least i didn't sacrifice what I believed in. My principles are fully intact.

0) I tried for a month to get to get the account back.
1) My boss tried for a month to get the account back.
2) We warned the customer (sits in the next room) that support would have to come from the DBAs and told them why.
3) A problem comes up, and I reminded everyone we've been trying to get the account back for a month.
4) Everybody already knew what was going on.

Those are important details you didn't mention!
Complaining to customers is a sin punishable by dismissal.
Complaining to coworkers is basically teambuilding 
And yeah, I get that coworkers may be customers (even paying ones), but still coworkers too.
Your place sounds awful to work for by the way

Well, it wasn't necessary until people started making assumptions.

9/10 times it's safe to assume "a customer" is not someone in the office next to you 
I apologize to the 1/10.

That makes me the 2/10. My customers are other departments within the company and in occasions even within my division.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

A couple of the guys (the PM is one) are hard to work with, but the work itself is kinda fun.

I once left a 30-person company for one person.
The person was part of my team and he was so toxic I didn't want to spend another day with that a**hole.
Another person left a few months later for the same reason.
I've worked at another company like that, although it was a lot smaller with only seven people, but it was quite doable to avoid the toxic person.
I can imagine your job has some cool challenges and it's probably a good place to work.
Always a bummer when one or two guys ruin the atmosphere.
Good luck with those guys, maybe send out a couple more frustrated emails? You have my blessing

The way I see it is that I retire in 3 years, an I have no doubt I can return their fire for that long.

The PM deserved it. They are a blight upon society

This is why I want to be just like JSOP when I grow up.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Did you move to CloudOne? There is a push to move our currently local-hosted client/server (WinForms) application to CloudOne on both NIPRNET and SIPRNET. I keep saying it's going to be a "shitstorm" as well since I, as the lead dev, have the same sysadmin rights as you had on our production data (and use it all the time). With everything CloudOne-related having to go thru port 443 apparently, a lot of what we've done for 15+ years is going to go away. You may be a perfect case study for me...

NIPR is cloud2, and SIPR is cloud1. We haven't even gotten to the SIPR side yet.
We have to RDP to a jump box, and then RDP from tehere to our dev boxes. we can do anything we want on the dev db server, but for test,staging, and prod, we get nothing. It's very locked down.

Brings back fond memories of these showing up and only having to use DECwriters for hard copies.

I need to replace my VT220...

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

It went "pop" a few years ago.

I remember getting a VT300 something or another and messing with their arcane pixel-level graphics. Even a VAX could make fractals and draw them but it was rather slow, even with a 19.2K link, and it brought the machine to its knees. I had to wait for after-hours. That was a 1980s generation VAX, 750 I think.
