Blog Guidelines on Naming Names

I occasionally read items that inspire ideas for blog posts. Sometimes they are items I disagree with, and sometimes those items are behind logins. I also want to avoid strawman arugments, so I'll want to link to examples of what I'm referring to.

In these situations, the guideline I plan to follow is to not name the author of the post which I am critical of, unless that person is otherwise somewhat famous in their field (e.g. the author of a book).

In any case, when I am critiquing someone's ideas, I never intend to imply anything negative about them as a person, scholar, or employee, unless explicitly stated. Usually in these cases, the person has simply posted an example of the type of thinking I disagree with.
