No, you're just odd.
I agree with your dissenting opinion. Blogs aren't supposed to be about the hard sell. The blogger should feel free to discuss whatever he or she wants, even if you never get around to pitching an item. Look at the biggest mainstream bloggers. A lot of them base their blog on "SEO", yet they post about parties they've gone to, their car breaking down, whatever.
As long as your blog has ads somewhere on it, your posts don't need to. Say what you feel like saying and see if you find some SE love for it. Hell, maybe another blogger will read it and link to it. Other people are much more likely to discuss your posts and link to them if you aren't in balls-to-the-wall keyword spammed sell, sell, sell mode.
