Even on the most commercial of blog sites, there is some sort of "I know a person wrote this" feeling that makes the blog more or less real.

splogs and cross linked bullshit are just that, and while they will likely score well with SEs for a while, they are the reasons why, in the end, filters will be written and innocent people will get punished in Google's SERPs.

It truly sucks.

I think I need to work on providing better comments on other people blogs... need to set aside some time to do that.

Generally, playing by the "rules" should be fine and acceptable and not get you banned. There will always be ones who are unfairly banned, but my hope is that will be the exception rather than the rule.
