I suppose it's because there's enough bloggers that it's something like a new species and with this much company, it's unlikely that everybody will like and support everybody else.However, I'm not sure if you meant negativity towards the bloggers themselves or against the act of blogging to begin with or generalizations towards all bloggers (i.e., bloggers are all narcissists)? Because if it's either of the latter, two than yes, I could see how that would be awfully hypocritical. It's like saying, "I don't like you because you're human", when you're human to. Can't really hate on someone for blogging in itself, if you blog too.

Aw, don't worry, I'm the same way!
I hate to see people fight, I feel sick about it, and sometimes act as peacemaker to a fault.

I'd like to know, as well, as I've been invited to events and fashion weeks and been offered freebies, asked to host giveaways, etc ... and it seems slightly ridiculous considering I don't even blog about fashion.
And if any of these people actually
read my blog (like they claim to in their emails), they'd probably have picked up my anti-materialistic spirit and realize I have no interest in being about "products" or "things", and no, I don't want your money!
However, I imagine these designers/companies/etc have strategies when extending invitations or offering products to bloggers. They're not being nice, in most cases, they want something from you in return, and think you'll be a publicity benefit to them. I think it has little to do with luck (except at maybe being found in the first place), but then again, I don't really believe in luck to begin with.
