Given your post about typos I can’t resist pointing out one of your own.

Up there in the paragraph just after Daisy’s quote, you say, “…because of it’s influence….” If I remember my high school English correctly, the possessive “its” has no apostrophe. The apostrophe is used only to indicate the contraction of “it is.”

The problem comes when you want to be specific for the sake of interest and letting people see into your life, but don’t want to cause problems with well-known television cooks.

The way I look at it, any company (even a highly respected one that needs a Houston-based blogger on board like MyBlogLog) is fair game. Individuals, unless it is *really* egregious, are best told about as “a chef I saw on TV today…”

Or, unless it’s Jason Alba. He’s fair game, too.

I am actually going through the same question in my head. I live and blog from Pakistan and have recently been documenting the conflict at Lal Masjid (Red Mosque) in Islamabad. Obviously I have stirred up the extremist element because I have gotten some nasty comments posted to my blog and now I am trying to keep up with them all (read deleting them). I actually wondered the same thing: Did I go to far?

At the end of the day, it’s my blog and my opinion, if you don’t like it… don’t read it. If they can’t except other people’s opinion, humor or logic, that is really their own problem and I am not responsible for that.

Granted it took alot of insulting, derogatory comments to get me to the point of say it.

If you get a minute you can come by and check out some of the comments:
