However, I'm curious if it will function like a blog-based form of natural selection, weeding out the weak in favor of the strong.
This infection seems to have caused perfectly good wine bloggers to stop talking about wine, and instead, to focus on their own insecurities precieved or real. Lately, we're losing wine bloggers right and left in favor of wine blog critics or MSM (main stream media) bashers.
It needs to stop.
