There seem to be a whole lot of egos out there blogging about themselves. If your blog is not providing an instructive solution than it's just a rant. I agree.

It's not like PR people aren't human beings, too. Maybe taking a moment to educate the "offender" individually via a quick email might be better. Or maybe just block the sender and go on about your business. It just seems like a colossal waste of time and like Ike said a big ego stroke for the blogger. It's also a great way to burn bridges unnecessarily. I loathe this particular tactic. It’s not like PR people aren’t human beings, too.

Often, it's the blogger stroking his or her own ego. It rarely works, because the PR person in question probably will never see it. (If they were regular readers or commenters, they wouldn't have made the gaffe to begin with.) Most of the time, it is an exercise in frustration.
