While this is not a clever new definition for an Urban Dictionary; this is a serious subject, and worth a comment.
Do we own our blogs?
The simple answer is NO! We use our blogs to share information, share our thoughts, and our creative expression. The content of a blog is somewhat ours - subject to some protections. However, we are borrowing this space (even if we are paying for it), and it goes away at the whim of the blog publisher.
When we invite comments to a blog, we open ourselves to differing ideas and opinions, and those can include commercial ideas.
Where is it written that just because something is commercial it is invalid? Commercialism pays for the internet, as it does most things good in life. Perhaps you thought it was your brilliant blog that made the internet happen? Grow up! Some commercial ideas have value and merit in a blog, just as anywhere else. So the next time someone posts a polite suggestion for a visitor to view a commercially published website, be polite, and as long as it is relevant to the subject in your blog, accept it gracefully, because your visitors might actually value it!
Here's an idea! Instead of being such a blog-nazi, amaze yourself - simply delete the post, use the idea, and tell your visitors about it yourself!
Stamp out Blog-nazis!
