Recently, I've read some pretty wacky blog entries. If these blogs were PF posts, they wouldn't measure up to PF standards.

We have clearly defined rules for posting on PF, but what are the rules for blog posts?

Blog Guidelines:
PF welcomes you to take advantage of its blog feature. We recognize that blog entries are inherently personal; accordingly, more flexibility is permitted there than would be suitable in the main forums. Nonetheless, blog entries are subject to the same overall guidelines in effect throughout PF, as appropriate. Personal theories are not permitted in blogs. Obscenity, hate speeches, religious screeds, personal attacks on other members, and promotion of crackpottery are not welcome anywhere on PF. Be aware that "Private" blog entries are viewable by Mentors and Admin.

Report them lisa. The same rules apply in the blogs as the forum, as dl has pointed out. The guidelines were recently changed.
