Poor Manners on the Blogger-Sphere! WHY? ….
After a stressful day, I finally had a chance to sit down and enjoy the blogger-sphere…however, what I found were NASTY AND HURTFUL COMMENTS made on my birthday (Vegas) post! Although I am used to receiving rude comments anonymously, either on this blog or e-mail. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!! And finally decided to voice myself!!!
I am not here to set an example of any kind but only to connect with people who share common interests. I never understand the need as to why people insult??? Sure, you don’t like what I am wearing…it is fine and I would love for you to express your opinions. However, there are many ways to stay polite while being honest.
It is always amazing what people can do or say when they feel hidden or protected. I know that this is a common problem many of the blogger’s face, but I have had ENOUGH. BE POLITE, even if you chose to stay anonymous!!! Show some respect to the individuals who are responsible for the blogs, since it is THEIR creative circuit… and it is your choice whether or not you want to emerge yourself in it!
THERE IS NEVER A REASON TO EXERCISE POOR MANNERS!!! Why do people have the need to be soo nasty? If you’ve ever made a nasty comment, please explain to me what made you do that??? Why not be polite instead ? I am honestly curious to understand as to why someone would EVER want to hurt an individual??? Don’t you feel ashamed of your actions?
Reading comments like these, whether it be on my blog or others… makes me question as to why our society is soooo screwed up? We blame media for “brainwashing us” but at the end of the day, it comes down to us and how far we allow ourselves to be a critical, judgmental and overall negative. By such nasty values we allow more negativity into the world, as if there isn’t enough already! Do something good for yourself and for others, instead of making yourself feel better by putting others down!!!!
I hope that this does not offend anyone as it is my opinion and I feel very strongly about this issue!!!

YOU GO GIRL!!! Things like this NEED to be said!
I agree with you 100%. Haven't these people learned the one rule we all learn in Kindergarten? If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Kudos to you!
I really hope a few people who leave rude comments do not stop you from posting. Those of us that follow your page love to see your pictures and your outfits. Even though the majority of us could probably never pull off wearing them lol
Anticipating seeing more of your Vegas pictures
Hugs and keep smiling!!
Awww Marta! I know you feel - we all do! I've had nasty people attack me over my disability. HOW SAD IS THAT?
The truth is, the internet is a breeding ground for creeps and it causes petty, jealous people to lash out.
I know it's nasty but honestly there is nothing anyone could say about you…you're gorgeous, skinny and wealthy, with a great guy and great clothes. If anyone says otherwise, THEY ARE JEALOUS because it's not true.
So don't let them get to you - I know it's hard but it's a fact of being known on the internet. Many people suck but there are also many lovely people too.
*Hugs*

GOOD FOR YOU! I am disgusted that anyone would leave you rude comments, especially on a birthday post. C'mon, that's ridiculous. This is a great post, very truthful. It takes too much time to be hateful and hurtful. Instead of posting nasty commens, go paintballing to get your aggression out people.
Have a WONDERFUL day Marta =) Hope your bday was a blast!
=( That's awful!!! Shame on them. They're probably just fat old cows jealous that they can't wear what you can! I hate rude people. There are better ways to express yourself, and just because the internet offers unlimited anonymity does not make it appropriate to be hurtful! Don't worry karma will get them.
PS I thought you looked GORGEOUS on your b-day post.
So i have never commented before, but I am an avid reader of you blog! I check everyday for updates, and I think you have great style and seem like a great person! Do NOT let immature, ridiculous people who hide behind the internet get you down. There is always going to be that 1% of people who feel the need to drag everyone else down. I'm so sorry that you've had to deal with that lately. I just wanted to remind you that there are people out there who support your blog and appreciate your creative circuit!
have an amazing day!!!

I am very upset. I believe that a person should treat others how they would like to be treated in turn. Negative thoughts ought to be kept as just that, as generally, there is no benefit of sharing them. (Particularly in a mean-spirited way)
Marta, you are a lovely person, inside and out. Perhaps some of these comments are indeed harsh and unnecessary, but my Grandmother has always said: consider the source. Often there is a deeper reason behind their comments… perhaps it's in fact their own issues. You have handled your responses with such decorum.
Personally, I love your sense of style! It may not be for everyone, which is fine, but it is yours. Your right. I will continue to follow you — you inspire me to be confident, elegant, and above else, classy.
Have a lovely day, Marta
wow, I cannot believe someone would be that nasty! I don't understand why people do that! I wouldn't mind if someone told me they didn't care for my outfit. I sure DO NOT expect everyone to like my style, but why the need to be so rude…?

I am glad you said what you had to say, darling. And I'm sorry your feelings got hurt.
Remember in nursery school, when a boy would be mean to you, your mom would tell you "He probably just likes you"? Or when girls were mean to you she'd say "They're just jealous"? Well, moms do know best : )
Seriously so uncool and unnecessary to leave rude comments - I'm sorry to hear you've been getting them, especially on your birthday of all things - goodness.
I think you're fabulous, as is this post - I totally agree with all you've said here.
I totally agree with you. I have not and will not ever say a mean thing on a blog. U are beautiful!
Don't let downers try to bring u down. ha

AMEN SISTA!!!
Let the haters hate, and all of the positive peeps will reap all the benefits of good karma
AND for the record- you looked STUNNING!
Anyone who said anything otherwise only WISHES they could look half as hot as you
Love you girl!!!
I'm so sorry to hear that people have been leaving negative and hurtful comments, that's really rude and unbecoming. I thought you looked lovely in your Veges pictures. Don't let them get you down.
I totally agree with you!! I have yet to experience any hate (yet) and I dread the day whereas I would find a hate comment for no reason. Criticizm CAN be constructive and I find a lot of people forget that because they are behind a screen.
Marta,
Very well said. Thank you for putting up with such reactions and still continuing to blog and love your fans (the polite ones, at least!)
We love you back!
I.B.
Marta, I love reading your blog and I'm sad to hear you've been receiving nasty comments, no one deserves this kind of hatred. All I can do is just tell you how much I enjoy your posts and will keep coming back for more:)
I totally agree with this: "We blame media for 'brainwashing us' but at the end of the day, it comes down to us and how far we allow ourselves to be a critical, judgmental and overall negative. " Sorry you had to read crap. Delete the bad comments and let me know if you need me to kick some bitch's ass.
well said. people are pretty damn bored with themselves. f them!
those people making nasty comments about you are just jealous bitches. you see, if they really hated you or your blog, they shouldn't have visited your site AT ALL.
Hey Marta
As I can see from the above comments there are so many lovely people who love you and adore you. There are few pathetic souls around who try to make themselves feel better by being nasty to others. I strongly feel negativity and rudeness comes from your inner inferiority complex. Its a way to cover up their shallow life and mind. Anyways its your blog, your creative space and you have all the right to write whatever you feel like and I suggest you block unwanted readers.
I am another reader who never comments, but felt like I also had to write. Anyone who makes the effort to write a nasty comment is juts jealous, pure and simple. You are beautiful, and do not let them hurt you. You outfits were perfect for Vegas…. you looked stunning, feminine and classy. Keep it up darling, love you and love your blog xxxx
Никогда этого не понимала, эти люди просто на самом деле или без воспитания, или завидуют, или всё вместе! Сама ещё с этим не сталкивалась в своем блоге, но там просто народу мало.
Не обращай в общем внимания. Ты замечательная и мы это знаем!
Gosh, its awful tha people write rude comments. Its just pure jealousy on their part.
Your blog rules, and don't let anyone from stopping you doing your thing.
Seriously, you rock and your blog is amazing.
Oh, darling, this is just terrible and makes me really sad. Please don't let some sick people upset you. I am sure they are only posting it because they are really jealous - you are young, beautiful, stylish and intelligent and all they've got is their own little pathetic world of misery.
Take care and smile, ok?

Hi you!Glad to see ur back!
Don't let what a few childish immature people said get you down. Trust me, it really isn't worth it. Loved your last post! It seemed like you had such a great time. I've always wanted to go to the Grand Canyon, those pictures you took are really gorgeous!
Good on you for writing this post, if not for anything, it will make people think twice about posting something demeaning and hurtful.
Good luck with university!
I'm sorry you had to deal with such rudeness

Marta, dont worry about it… Ive gotten some pretty nasty anonymous ones. There will always be negative people in the world..but I think what they are looking for most of the time, is a reaction. Well put, but dont let this stop you. I know you love your site(so do I) and you should def keep at it because there are SOOO many others who do as well.
You can wear whatever you want, especially on your birthday. I think many negative comments are pointless, it wasn't constructive at all. Everyone has their own style and that should be appreciated.
Those zipper boots *siiiiiiigh* !!
It's just jealousy in my opinion. I know I'm personally jealous lol. But I wouldn't write nasty things to you; it's just rude. Just keep on keepin' on, and ignore those who don't show you any respect.
Here, here, gorgeous!! It is incredibly rude what people will do under the guise of anonymity. Here you are putting your lovely outfits out here for us to see, taking time out of YOUR vacation to share photos with us and people insult you. A personal blog that someone pours their time and energy (and personal life) into is not a place for insults or negativity.
While it is okay to express your opinion, rudeness is never acceptable.
Beautiful blog by the way dahlin!
well that is not right! there is no reason for that kind of rudeness, were all in this together, in this community, and we all help each other out. There is no reason to hate on something putting their talent out, and getting bashed for it. Opinions matter, but only when they are done in a respectful manner, so dont even listen to them! they obviously were never taught how sophistication and class work.
Pffft! Who cares about a few rotten apples?! Don't waste a second thinking about the negative comments - focus on on the good! =)
Love your blog and felt compelled to write my first comment…
xo
hey beautiful! great post! i don't know what makes these ridiculous people make comments like that!!! i think you raised some great points, and i hope those silly commenters who wrote the negative comments see it and change their ways! have a wonderful day gorgeous! xxx
Which issue of Glamour Russia is this from? I love the spread!
Catherine:
I am not sure I found it on The Fashion spot…. but the spread it amazing
Hey gorgeous, happen to pass by your fantastic blog.. well, I guess i know the cause of their behaviour. Just simply 'JEALOUSY'.. well, being the first time to your blog, i must say i will drop by more often. You go girl *wink*
