   Wow. I think he's just angry that so many people have an easier chance nowadays to get their work, opinions, and pieces out for others to see. When he started writing it was much harder, but I feel like Conlin and the others are just seeing the whole thing from a very selfish light. They don't want others to "bask," if you wil,l in glory without-god forbid! a journalism degree or proper editors or what not. I also think that since these bigshots have invested so much in their careers, they think it unfair of an 'unskilled,' 'uneducated' writer surpassing them in popularity, success, etc.

   Excellent response to this issue. Who, if anyone, is truly an expert on anything?

   If we bloggers are inadequate, inaccurate, ill-trained and unedited, the public will choose not to read us. Ultimately, the public has the choice to read what they wish. Judging by the popularity of blogs nowadays, I would think the choice is obvious.

   I do have a degree; as part of my studies, I was taught how to write for the scientific world. I bring a multitude of my own experiences to the keyboard every time I write an article, be it about sports or other subjects. I consider myself part of the mediocre crowd that uses the blogging platform to hone writing skills.

   I think the true issue at hand is, as mentioned above, jealousy. How dare we attempt to enter their realm so easily! Uninvited!
