Yes and no.

It's how the system works, as soon as you are a somebody be prepared to receive
praise, criticism and attacks. It is not much different as in real life with
papers and gossip magazines as soon you are a celebrity. In some way everybody
has to deal with attacks because the system is not planning to change.

Hint, put your side of the story on a web-page. Everytime you are not in
agreement point to the page. It's called damage control.
