Sticking with what you are good at
I have two categories of blogs that I have bookmarked. The writer blogs and the personal blogs.

With the personal blogs I tend to be very loyal. I find one, I read often and I comment often.

With writing focused blogs I'm not nearly as loyal, I expect more. Especially those where authors or writers are marketing themselves and their books through their blogs. I expect to hear about them and their writing. I do not want to hear their thoughts on politics. Just like I don't want to hear a rock star's thoughts on politics.

It's like false advertising. "Hey, come on over to my blog that I created because I'm a successful author and then listen to my opinions on politics."

I don't begrudge them the right to do it at all, it's just disappointed to not get what you were expecting.

NOTE: If you visit any of the blogs on the right side of the screen... you will never be disappointed, they are wonderful.

Ok, um, but what if it's a writer that tends to write about, oh, life, the universe and everything? Like, politics. Or life's mundane absurdities, which is the same thing. I mean, if the writer writes on their blog the way they write everywhere else (except with more typos) isn't that to be expected?

Which is all my very intelligent yet convoluted way of saying "Oh God, she's not talking about ME, is she?"
