Matt: I was say for example over 200 points ahead of my nearest rival and about 500+ points ahead of the next four players below second place. Now Im only 100 points ahead of my top 5 or so players. Therefore, this is NOT a true reflection of the ratings is it?.

I think and believe that under the BKR formula that is used now, the gap of 100 points corresponds to a gap of 200+ points under the previous formula. That means that to be able to "hunt you down", your opponents would have to do the same job, win the same amount of games, both under this and the former one. You have to take into consideration this fact: Before, it was WAY easier to gain BKR points. All you had to do was play opponents within 400 BKR points and you always gained 8 points if you won. Now, it's not that simple. Going up is much more difficult and e.g. for you as the best spider player here, it seems like something almost impossible to get back where you had been with your rating before the BKRs were recalculated.
