You're right, a lot of rhetoric is passed along in blogs. I find those posts can be very polarizing. I do think we underestimate the reader. They know when they're being gamed. I certainly knew when I was getting holiday ecards from people that weren't so interested in wishing me glad tidings as they were trying to sell me something.

I'm with you. Let's make business blogs a politics-free zone in 2012.

I totally agree vis-a-vis TMI, Sarah.

Since you brought up politics, as a moderator here at BizSugar, I'm wondering how many posts in 2012 will actually be political rants thinly disguised as being small business related. The idea is dreadful & repugnant (regardless of which party gets smeared). I love articles drawing analogies to non-business areas - sometimes they're riveting, but in 2012 let's hope people can separate business from personal political messaging! (I'm getting this out a whole year early, I know.)
