When you start having "haters" that's when you know you're doing something right :) There's no rule that once someone is in your life, or your Facebook life, you have to keep them there. I'm all for loving others, even when they are difficult, but I am NOT all for keeping consistently negative people in your life. I don't even understand the two-faced stuff, how is it wrong to be upset that a skin cancer survivor is supporting the tanning industry? Being supportive of your fellow melanoma warriors doesn't mean clapping and cheering for everything they do. Actually, sometimes being supportive means calling people out on BS! Keep on being yourself, you're entitled to your own opinion, and the last I checked, you weren't forcing anyone to read your blog. Unfortunately, some people are just miserable and put way too much energy into trying to bring others down. PS - I'm pretty sure you could get plenty of positive reference letters written to this Foundation, if for some reason they took the negative letters seriously at all :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08161944196871041201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5994336640653689680.post-31728431753732562382012-11-14T08:57:26.050-05:002012-11-14T08:57:26.050-05:00Chelsea great posting:) I am proud of you for stan...Chelsea great posting:) I am proud of you for standing up to the bully:) I felt this is one of your best postings:)Hang in there my melanoma friend or as you say mole mates.

You are making a difference!<br /><br />When I was diagnosed Stage III and IV in 2004, I found a lot of friends and comfort on an online melanoma bulletin board before there was a Facebook. Most people were helpful and supportive, but every once in a while, you'd run into some folks who just wanted to make others miserable. <br /><br />I still recommend that bulletin board to people, but I always include a disclaimer that people will treat you like family... but sometimes they're a dysfunctional family! <br /><br />Now, with FB, it's not as easy to distance ourselves from people, and not always easy to know who these other melanoma warriors are when we welcome them to our FB world. Sometimes we find out the hard way, as I did a few years ago. Since then, I don't friend melanoma folks unless I've personally met them. Sad, but we have to do what's best for our own health and wellbeing.<br /><br />As melanoma patients, stress isn't good for us!! So we have to guard ourselves from excess drama. It's not easy. <br /><br />Thank you for talking about this topic. I'm sure there are many who will benefit from reading it. We have a big enemy in common. And we CAN help and support one another, despite those who try to bring us down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5994336640653689680.post-82971766882042867852012-11-13T21:30:50.333-05:002012-11-13T21:30:50.333-05:00As someone who has personally been cyber bullied, ...As someone who has personally been cyber bullied, kudos to you for sticking up for yourself and what you believe in. <br /><br />Sorry you had to experience this :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14288398114521031113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5994336640653689680.post-9165190449248581352012-11-13T21:23:00.834-05:002012-11-13T21:23:00.834-05:00Wow, I cannot believe people can be so rude and in...Wow, I cannot believe people can be so rude and insensitive!
