If they have something to contribute, and participate in the conversation, that's one thing.

I have never understood the antipathy towards bloggers. If they post in the blog thread why does anyone care? Dont look at that thread if you dont like blogs.
For myself I am often interested in what they say and also would like to support conservative blogs anyway. Encourage them to write and build audience etc.
And no I am not a blogger
