There could be a trillion food blogs out there, and who cares? That just means there's more people with the same shared interests, and I think that's great. It's a bit selfish to want to trample people down and strive to be one of the few food sites (or sole site) on the internet. There's enough room for all of us. Ouzelem - I read your rant and enjoyed it. Glad so many of us are in agreement here :) Chiara - I think the biggest shocker for me was that there actually are food blog haters. I can understand controversies existing around mommy blogs, political blogs, gossip blogs, etc. but not food. How can you cut someone down who likes to talk about food? Are you THAT miserable? I know the yellow poster was probably just a gimmick, but it was in extremely poor taste. Debbie – Exactly. There could be a trillion food blogs out there, and who cares?

I had never read Eater.com and, from now on, never will. And the comments by a certain DocChuck made me want to smack him -his holier than thou attitude and belittling of non-professional food writers is almost too much to take. And then I go on his profile and he's not a professional food writer himself. He's a retired college professor with a PhD in Higher Education. This is the kind of person that drives professional writers insane with bitchy, useless comments on newspaper websites. This is also the kind of unhappy, grumpy person that should not have been contaminating minds in the educational system for god knows how many years. No wonder he likes eaters.com move so much. They are the same kind of elitist idiots. I'm tempted to create a free downloadable sticker that everyone can put on their blog that says "Eaters.com is an elitist, bigot, poor excuse for a website"... What a bunch of bullshit.

I know that's the one thing people go after when they rant about misspellings. Sorry that I misspelled ‘ridiculous’ in my post as I was ranting about Eater’s misspellings and grammatical errors.
