I feel your sentiments, man. As a good friend once told me, you know you're doing something right when people start hating on you. Learn and profit from their criticisms and move on.
Another good quote about haters involves the Buddha. Whenever the Buddha was preaching, some hater always got on his jock and tries to bash him so people won't listen to him. One day, Buddha asked the hater.... "Let me ask you one thing.... If someone tries to give you a gift but you refuse it, who does the gift belong to?" The hater says "the giver." The Buddha nodded, "Correct. Since I do not accept your hate your hate remains with you." The guy left. The moral of the story is that haters/backbiting ONLY has an effect if the person being hated on ACCEPTS the hate. If you refuse to accept and become better by it by learning from it to your advantage, you transcend the hate, the destructive criticism, the pettiness.
Hmmmm, this is quite a long post. I think I might use it for my blog ;)
Take it easy, iwantchixxx and don't let the haterz get you down.
