A recipe for a food blogger flame war

Shuna's write-up of the Common Wealth Club's Food Blogger panel (and the event itself) triggers quite an interesting reaction in the comments. Recipe for a food blogger flame war: 3 cups drama, 0 parts actual discussion of food, a pinch of bitterness (to taste), garnish with jealousy.

Here's the thing: In every community, members have different expectations of community, different standards of behavior for themselves and others, and different goals for their participation. As I see it there isn't a singular food blogging community, and that's ok.
