Just pick a political story at random and read the comments. There is no logic or reason on either side - only hypocrisy and hate.

The main thing to know about me is that I'm a champion of entrepreneurs and the startups they build. They are my rock stars. If in doubt, I side with them, and that's clear from my writing.

I dont claim to be a journalist. I hold myself to higher standards of transparency and disclosure.

I believe the term "blog" means more than an online journal. I believe a blog is a conversation. People go to blogs to read AND write, not just consume.

Journalists hold themselves apart, and above, the common person. They have rules designed to ensure their objectivity and impartiality.

Our government is just way too interested in mucking around in Silicon Valley by creating and enforcing rules based on little or no understanding of the consequences.
