“Top 10 rules for writing a critical blog”
Periodically, I want to highlight examples of online debates, done publicly via social media. It is important to see how disagreements between bloggers are presented in effective or in many cases ineffective ways. If you plan on or already have started a blog, being prepared for the inevitable disagreement can make it less stressful. Not everyone deserves to be engaged, especially if they fail to use proper logic, patience, and etiquette.
In this instance, a blogger, Drew, disagreed with Yoni Freedhoff’s criticism to Canada’s Food Guide. While I attempted to follow the discussion that ensued in Drew’s comment section, deletions made it difficult to follow. But what I liked seeing is Yoni’s 10 rules for blogging using the debacle as an example:
