The question is who needs to show respect? The individual, who needs to respect 
that not everyone would like to read personal opinionated blog posts, or the 
group, that needs to respect that people sometimes post very personal, 
opinionated blog posts. I tend to lean towards Spock here who says "The needs 
of the many outweigh the needs of a few" (and by need I mean the need to not 
read things which might potentially offend them). 

Why would anyone syndicate a post to Planet if that person can simply choose 
not to do so. And people who're interested in the personal views of that person 
can choose to go to the blog directly by clicking some of the links on Planet.
