I tend to agree with you. Forums usually contain a request for help or information and people use the functionality to reply with answers and guidance (and sometimes with critisism) while a Blog post is usually someone presenting a "paper" or their opinion or presentation on a subject (and often advertisement in some form). Now alot of bloggers do want us to comment and reply in order to get "hits" and some dialogue going. When you think about it / the above, I am not sure why Bloggers (or people who create a Blog post) don't use the Forum as it serves the same need.
It's an interesting one. I curently do not see the value in the Blogs as the purpose and functionality are largely the same.

I do not find Blog Tags useful at all when performing a blog search, too much noise as most search output will be related to forums, not blog articles.
PP Blogs are difficult to navigate.
I was expecting to see a list of available blog tags or the like.
Perhaps I am missing something.

The thread does not need a specific structure
A thread/post does not need to bring knowledge in itself, it can be a question or a discussion
A thread/post can be specific or broad as long as it's categorized
Blog-> The blog is the newspaper people would read on a nice day.
...While...
Forum -> The forum is a 'virtual social club' in which people group up to discuss different thematics.
