Well, I disagree that bloggers should not sometimes switch lanes, even if just for a moment. I cannot ignore what’s happening around me because I’m afraid to alienate readers. If the audience I’ve built leaves because I talk about what is important to me, I got the wrong people. There’s always a threat of backlash or loss of money from speaking up. I get it. I’m a professional troublemaker and loudmouth. I have pissed people off many times. I’ve probably pissed people off with this very book, but it’s worth it to me to take personal risks for public gain.
