I'm at a loss as well many times. Then again I don't understand how the Twilight movies could top the box office, either. It's about the same level of depth and quality.

OMAT is within the bounds of starting that Kickstarter fund. I'm not a fan, but it's a business.
When Gary Leff called out that woman he crossed that line and made it personal.
Blogs are a business, and its time they starting acting as one.
What happens when a business calls out a reviewer who posted something on Yelp? They're criticized for it.
Same for a blog. They need to keep it professional.
Some of these bloggers try to have their cake and eat it too. "It's a business" but also "I do this because I love the hobby", etc. A business owner can choose to make things personal but I find it distasteful.
To answer the OP...no, I think many in the M&P blog world jumped the shark awhile ago!
