I guess it depends on what we want blogging to be. If people are taken in, maybe it really is hurting someone. I don't think blogging needs to be the same thing as giving a deposition, but self-serving BS is probably out of line. So, how about firing a warning shot over that blogger's metaphorical bow: "I know you're lying. Are you going to force me to expose you?" Whaddaya think? Hmmmmm.

There is a blogger (who shall be anonymous) that has posted things I know to be false and it galls me that some readers are taken in. Blogging should be truthful - or at least the author should believe it to be true. What to do? Should I expose this blogger or just let it go, knowing it really isn't hurting anyone? I agree 100%.
