Wat do I think?
A blog is a personal journal and hence, it gives da author every carte blanche, perrogative and liberty to write on any subject matter he/she wishes and with no mandatory need to adhere to grammatical conventions or political- correctness. If you want a serious, formal, political and economic reading material, by all means go rot yourself in the academic journals of da library archives.
Granted, blogging is a communal activity and it does exist on a continuum. A spectrum of bloggers with an infinite style of writing, choice of subject matter and cultural context. But do Singaporean bloggers have to be juxtaposed as belonging to the 'basilect' and 'acrolect' category? Do American bloggers make the rules and hereby condemn those who deviate from their style? Is there a blog police who intends to impose mental colonization? No one deserves to be judged by the appearance of one's blog, one's language or one's way of thinking.
Tats wat I think.
