Anything else is dishonest, lacks any sort of intellectual integrity and is quite frankly pure shit. It's not about money and it's not about patting the shoulder of whomever you refer to.
In light of this kind of "creative" writing, how is someone supposed to trust anything the blogger writes in the future? How do we know he's not taking information out of it's context, or straight out lying?

Thank you Stratos, I try but, to be honest I'm human and prone to errors.
Two very good questions! I'll try to answer them to the best of my ability.
If it is subject that matters to somebody, I would suggest researching it for themselves. Double check what the blogger has writen with their own research. Do the facts concur or do are they in conflict? *not an actual question asked of anybody. If the facts, for the most part, concur then you know how much trust can be applied to the blogger. If the facts, for the most part, conflict then you know how how little trust can be applied to the blogger. Also one should try to seperate the facts from opinion, in the Bloggers statement.
Personally I don't care what Scotland or the EU do with their dried Poop. I'm not a citizen of either one. Do I think it is silly to burn poop pellets and not make electricity if you have the ability to do so. But that is an opinion, with it and $1.50 you can buy a bad cup of coffee.
