Christie Brinkley Quote

I recently came across this quote in the Daily News Gatecrasher section. As a blogger, I am deeply offended by Christie’s statement which states that the blogosphere is ”one of the ugliest places in the world.”

Like any other profession, there are always bad apples in a bunch. I also believe that many do not understand the blogger  profession, the ethical responsibility bloggers have, or the work involved behind the blog, however, this in no way justifies a blanket statement like the one above.

Thoughts?
