General consensus among attorneys I know has long been that clickwrap 
licenses on *software* are questionable.  By extension, I believe that 
such a thing on a blog post would be even more so.

ToS/"don't research me" leads you quickly to the slippery slope down which 
such themes as "thoughtcrime" lie....
