True. That's the problem with gpg/pgp, that it lacks a certification authority. It rely instead on a "web of trust".

But, you can know whether an email claiming to come from me, with insults, and therefore suspicious at least, has the same identity than other emails of the same person sent previously over the months.

It is the only thing I can do...

If you want a trusted authority, you can get a free S/MIME digital certificate from http://www.thawte.com/email. Many companies also hand them out to employees or customers. You can also save your GPG keys on a key server. I have Mozilla configured to support both GPG and S/MIME.
