It appears that the forum view for guests is correct when they are not given access to view profiles - they aren't even presented with a link to them when viewing forums or topics. This is correct IMO.
In blogs on the other hand, this presentation is different. Guests are given a link to profiles that they have no permission to view, so of course they are then shown a "You don't have permission for that!" message.
My thoughts on this are for both user (guest) experience and SEO. I don't want either of these parties presented with links that they can't even access.

- Log out (viewing as guest, which has no permission to view member profiles on my board)
- Visit main Blogs index or a specific blog entry
- Blog author usernames are not linked nor does the hovercard display when moused over (this is correct)
- Blog author avatars as well as comment author avatars do link to their respective profiles (this is incorrect IMO)
Note that forum username/avatar linking works correctly in this respect - it seems to be only be blogs that exhibit this behavior.
