It is a slippery slope to start down when you blog in this manner. The reality is that few bloggers if any will disclose that they were paid for a review. When is the last time you saw a note like that? So I prefer to speak from the heart and not have to worry about a ramification if a reader "catches" me. I feel my voice is more true to my nature if I write unfettered on topics that I choose including a great or unflattering truthful review of a product.

As a blogger, I have been paid for some of my posts, and I hope that continues. I also see where some might not want to see advertising all over the place. But don't we all self-select when it comes to which blogs we read and which we ignore? It's not like there aren't a lot of choices. :) I agree with your “live and let live” attitude.
