Well, since I have more than a dozen blogs I clearly prize freedom of speech. However, I also own a business and I totally understand where business is coming from. Statistically, most people (for whatever reason) find it easier to spread all kinds of lies, rumors, inuendo about businesses rather than addressing them directly when they have a problem with a product or service - and some people are just angry that they have to work for someone else because they can't figure out what work to do on their own.

That being said, I also believe that there is a certain percentage of people out there blogging that just want to spew venom as a form of anger management. It has nothing at all to do with the people, places, things that they write about.
