Yes, the real test of true scholarship isn't having an article published in a peer reviewed journal.

Or lecturing at a university.

No... it's being indexed on google.

Seriously, you think that makes you some sort of authority on the subject?

Anyone can write crap and pop it on the net. It doesn't make any of it true or well written, or even interesting.

If you think that having a blog makes you a scholar, then... I'm outta here.
