A lot of friends came to blogginh when the comments got cruel and snide. Some taking credit for work that was not theirs. I went back this week,and found some lovely homes. I also found one taking credit for a house that was definatly not hers. I did my kitchen in deep chocolate and was surprised to find some thought it too dark. When the next day I saw another kitchen in navy that was raved about.We are all different and so our views are thus.

Apparently, the author is a little sensitive about my opinions. The article you reference was written in a Canadian publication. I totally disagree with its premise on political grounds which would not be popular on this site as I have seen.

Now think of it, have you seen any nationally acclaimed designers who are blogging? If their little pettiness needs private eyes, they deserve the criticism they get.

Who would post such a vile attack about someone they've never even met or had any interaction with, in the first place? She only apologizes because it caused her to lose, rather then gain readers as she hoped.<br /><br />And the snark on Apartment Therapy? VV was laying it on thicker then anyone, accusing them of "dirty tricks" and cheating. Go read the posts- it's all there.<br /><br />Finally, this entire commentary is exactly what Stephen Drucker was speaking of. He is calling for a return to civility, and a stop to the name-calling and personal attacks, which are an entirely different beast from constructive criticism- something some of you just can't seem to understand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3350982326967242853.post-34573306339135239132010-03-31T11:07:20.638-07:002010-03-31T11:07:20.638-07:00For the record, I am very sorry about the camel to...For the record, I am very sorry about the camel toe post. It was removed from my blog long ago.<br /><br />For the record I apologize to Heather Clawson for doing it. <br /><br />I am reworking the Front Row Blogging post and will post it again at a later date. There was some good stuff there that I let my sense of humor ruin.<br /><br />And everybody no matter how successful, dishes and bitches and gets snarky about others in their field. ID is and has always been a blood sport ha ha. Only now it is seeping from private e-mails, phone conversations, office chit chat, and cocktail party banter to public blog comments. <br /><br />When I first started blogging I thought honestly saying what we feel was missing, like basically saying what we felt about one another's work, including the body of work that is the blog. I thought it would be a good thing to be open.<br /><br />But a little goes a long way on a blog. There are too many tender feelings, too much envy out there, too many wannabes, too much bitterness for too much reality and honesty...<br /><br />On the other hand there is a ton of generosity, good will, humor, talent, and friendship on blogs.<br /><br />Friends accept one another, the fuck ups and the shining moments.<br /><br />So yes, Joni is a friend. And the other round table girls are friendly to me. And I cherish it.<br /><br />About anon comments, I understand why some of you need to post this way.<br /><br />But I now delete the really nasty off topic anon comments because it just doesn't do much good for anyone. <br /><br />Blogging is new social interaction, and we are all feeling our way.<br /><br />I have made mistakes, learned, and hopefully grow as a person and a blogger to blog better, and be better.<br /><br />I hope that we can have opinions and express them, say what we like, and say what we don't like. Repression stinks in any form.<br /><br />I think Mr. Drucker was over reacting and a little over wrought when he wrote that editorial.<br /><br />For the record, I have no problem voting for a friend, or asking others to vote for a friend.<br /><br />The snarky comments about the B'dales comp were mostly on Apt. Therapy, and generated by last years winner. And really in the scheme of things, AT is a speck in the universe, just like the rest of our blogs. Not everybody is reading, and not everyone cares.<br /><br />We are adults and most of us can take care of ourselves, including the snark that comes our way. We don't need the snark police ha ha.<br /><br />I wish you: Peace, love, decorating, and blogging...<br /><br />xo xoVisual Vamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17703228111473936714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3350982326967242853.post-11157288549914227172010-03-31T10:59:28.000-07:002010-03-31T10:59:28.000-07:00Loved this topic, but I have to disagree with you ...Loved this topic, but I have to disagree with you Joni (for once!), about one thing - honesty doesn't have to be negative. I'm always honest with my comments. If I like something, I let you know. But if I don't like something - I won't comment. If you say something nice or at least constructive ,don't say anything at all.

We say things without considering whether we want them permanently recorded in an online archive available to nearly 2 billion people. We tweet an offhand remark to a friend, in a simulation of a one-to-one conversation, which happens to be visible to 500 million people. Our most casual remarks are recorded for future employers, business competitors, customers, clients, potential litigants, political adversaries and others.<br /><br />That’s because we’re publishing, not conversing.

It just seems like there is far too much negativity going on right now and it's not just blogs and design its everywhere. It's silly but I recently mentioned to friends that even FB status updates is usually people just complaining. Anyways as an interior designer I think my best asset is that I can respect and appreciate all design regardless if its my style or not, I have also learned that I can voice my opinion if its different then others in a respectful way and not attack people and hopefully agree to disagree.
