Bogus Blog Practices

Possibly the first in a series.

Today's Bogus Blog Practice is the blogger who addresses someone directly from the blog, as if (s)he is speaking directly to that person: as if, by some miracle, the person addressed is actually a reader of the blog. You know what I mean:

Hey, dumbass who cut me off in traffic this morning on I-77: you're going to get someone killed, you know that?

Hey, barista at Starbucks: stop making faces at me every morning when I say "large" instead of "venti."

Hey, neighbor who lets your dog shit on my lawn: Get offa my lawn! Clean your shit up!


And so on.

Hey, bloggers who engage in this practice: knock it off!
