Yes indeed, if you ever want to cite any of the pearls of brilliance laid down on a regular basis here, you can. Heck, you can even cite comments on blogs!
So now you know.

Jim Anderson of Decorabilia, who coaches debate out in Washington, notes that Timothy Sandefur was cited during a Lincoln-Douglas debate he saw recently.
The UN has rejected the proposal that Atlantic bluefin tuna be listed by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, or CITES, which is currently in session.
Interesting conversation at lunch today: topic was academic performance metrics and of course the dreaded citation index came up, with all its variants, flaws and systematics.
As my commenters were quick to point out, the suggested format is far from ideal.

The proposed citation style seems to be trying to fit blog posts into a dead tree media procustrean bed. What is the relevance or meaning of Place and Publisher?
I've never understood why anyone still cites a place for books. That made sense 100 years ago when there was precisely one publishing house in precisely one big German city, but those times are over. Some publishers are at home in several cities on several continents at once. Citing a place adds zero information.
