Recently someone took offence that I used my blog to declare Nirvana's Nevermind as one of the greatest albums of my generation.
"Who says?" The person asked me. "And why should we care that you think that?"
Maybe this person is a little new to blogging, having asked "who says?"
For those of you who don't know, a blog typically has an "author," some Joe or Jane Blow, like myself. They then use the blog as an expression of "free speech."
Typically, the author writes the blog for themselves or for their friends, and if other people happen to read it, that's great.
If you don't care for what the blog author has to say then he or she would simply ask that you don't read their blog.
A blog author does not liken themselves to God delivering the 10 commandments. However, if you wish to take the blog author's writings as sacred, I'm sure the blog author would be very flattered.
If you have a problem with someone expressing their opinion then get off the Internet.

I totally agree with you that 'Nevermind' is a brilliant album. Kudos to you.
Most people would write the guy off as an uneducated imbecile. (I know I did.)
His 'who cares?' attitude only goes to show how far he will go in life - nowhere, because nobody really wants to listen to (or read) pure negativity.
By the way, could I add 'Hamsterdance: The Album' to your list?
-Nobody Important
Thanks anon,
It's good to know you have my back these days.
Excuse the "negativity" here, but the only list I am adding "Hamsterdance" to is the worst of the worst.
And you make fun of me for being a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Shame. Shame.
HAHA, that's hilarious. My goodness.
Ain't it?
I am truly honoured that not only you, but so many of your readers, took such offense to my off-hand comment.
The reaction is humourous.
You also forget that I've endured trips in your car.
I know what you really listen to.
Nevermind wasn't on the line up.
anon,
The tone of a comment doesn't always come across when it is in written form, especially when sent anonomously.
And Nirvana is always in the line up, although not always in my car.
