As a blogger, I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t read nearly the amount of blogs I probably should. I used to have a long list that I’d check in with every couple of days, but as time has passed, that number has dwindled. There are a few that come up regularly in my inbox, and those are generally the ones that entertain me the most.

Can I claim to never pass a private judgment on someone? Of course not. Would I publicly criticize them? I hope not.

There are too many things to worry about on a daily basis, and someone I’ve never met is certainly not one of them.

That said, it strikes me that I’m kind of calling these people out on my blog. Granted, I’m not giving names, but still…
