I'm particularly talking about idiocy like declaring all blogs
verboten.
All blogs haven't been declared verboten, except in BLPs, unless it's a blog run by the subject.
Try telling that to the people who claim otherwise.
Indeed. I was astonished to see a discussion on [[Talk:Paul Krugman]] referring to BLP and RS to support the contention that blogs can never be cited as sources. I've written more than one FA based on, among other sources, a blog which has been cited by no less than the BBC. Should these FAs be defeatured?
