There is a tremendous difference between "won't accept just anything" and "won't accept anything". Pulling up a few blogs doesn't mean you're done, and can say "I've got it sourced, these horrible people just won't accept it!"
"A few blogs" and "A blog entry by Richard Bartle, one of the most recognized experts on MUDs" are rather different.
I mean, which part of WP:V's section on self-published sources, exactly, are you suggesting that Bartle doesn't meet?
(Mind you, there have been some clever lunacies trying to discredit Bartle. The fact that it's possible he's played the game is one of my favorites. I wish I were making this up.)
