Yeah, but nobody would read an objective blog, would they?
If blogs were just dispassionate lists of things that are objectively and demonstrably true, then the blogosphere would just be a poorly organised encyclopedia.

What's wrong with having an opinion anyway?

Nicely said.
When I was offered the gig, my only guide was that I shouldn't be libellous. I don't think I am. And this blog has the highest readership of any in the BMJ stable, by quite some way.

Is this because I'm brilliant? I'd like to think so, but it's almost certainly not that. Rather, it's that the other blogs do tend to be very, very dry indeed.

You're just a shill for
medical ethics blogs.
