Should I be worried about this?
Mz: I think I would watch it periodically and if anything got posted that made me concerned, I would try to think of some way to set the record straight without turning it into an Issue.  It might not even be appropriate to rebut something directly, just be aware that people are saying X and maybe try to use your normal pathways of communication to casually make remarks which "disprove" whatever is being said that is erroneous.  (Jumping into the conversation to rebut something when you haven't previously participated in the group is generally going to come across as defensive, offensive, harsh....etc...and can do more harm than good.)Having fans seems like a two-edged sword to me.   Look how ugly things can get when a Hollywood celebrity does something their fans don't approve of.  Britney, Madonna and countless others have gotten lambasted at one time or another.  Personally, I think Britney made a huge mistake when she created a reality show about her marriage.  I think she was looking to "prove" to people that her marriage was a good idea and looking to get the approval of her fans.  And when you do that, you signal they have a say in your private life.  It's kind of like letting yourself get dragged into certain kinds of arguments:  Doing so only convinces the other person that they have some "right" and that you need to "justify" your choice/position.  In some cases, it's best to prove to folks their opinion doesn't actually matter by treating it as insignificant.  Yet, at the same time, you have to realize that their opinion may not matter to you but can influence other people, so saying nothing may also be a huge mistake.  Rebutting something without winding up in a Chinese-Finger-Puzzle-style social trap is an art and takes a light hand.Good luck with this.
