If your business model depends on being "well known"/celebrity (37singles, Arrigton, Seth Godin etc), then you have to accept the trappings that come with that. If you're not prepared to accept the bad things, then don't become well known. Simple. Change your business model so it doesn't rely on your personal 'fame'.
Sorry, but it's just a fact of life. If you become 'famous', you attract criticism, crackpots, abuse, death threats, etc etc.
