Thanks. I already ranted about this earlier in the other thread ont he
subject, but I'll have another little rant I think, hopefully flush
this out of my system.

The thing is that most of the draconian elements to their proposals,
is already technically covered by law in many parts of the world. Its
just a question of there being any resources to follow up every
potential violation. Imagine how many libelous comments have been made
on the net, compared to h

I agree totally with what youve said, Ive just been on the discussion
part of their wiki and added some thoughts to this. Theres disturbing
stuff there on so many levels, I dont think this code is salvagable,

Human values of respect, understanding, etc. are natural to express
and act on. To impose a code of conduct is an insult and mockery of
those values.

The fact that this is being discussed as something that needs to be

Hi,
I have taken the LIBERTY to create a wiki for those who oppose
draconian measures on the internet. Please help to build this up if
you feel that this is important!

This has been a fascinating discussion. I tend to agree with others here
that anyone should be free to come up with whatever rules they want to use
for their own blogs and that if they do a good job of it, others might want
to follow suit.
As people have noted there are many different types of bl
You're not that out of the loop here Josh, it seems to me after
reading all of the posts here is that there, as there always seems to
be, a bit of misscommunication and retoric. It's for those reasons I
tend to stay out of these "conversations". What I find interesting
is that to some degree

I suppose I might have jumped the F-word (fascist) a bit early on this

good idea and should be opposed by people interested in preserving

I think the point is that there is not a limited number of gatekeepers
for content and activity on the net. Anyone can setup a website (blog

someone doesn't like that, they can create their site. A code of

But life with no governance will lead to chaos. It's been proven by
history time and time again. But now we are speaking in complete
generalities, you can say, "Those that govern will use those that

I don't know what to think about this code. I just know that laws or

badly thought through. Would have been more sensible IMO if they had

As far as I knew, no one was talking about imposing anything on anyone.
I thought this was an attempt to identify a common creed that many
bloggers and videobloggers could adopt as they share in its mutual
values of respect, understanding, etc. It seems to me that there would

I don't know... I see this as being a horrible problem if the only code
to be subscribed was O'Reily, but I still think that if there were 20-30
different codes that people were crafting and anyone could elect to
abide by any or none of them then this wouldn't be fascist in any way.

Someone please explain this to me, I am very confused about this debate.
Let's look at it this way, if I as a media maker decide to make a page
detailing my own code of ethic and an attached wiki to further refine
and develop my own ethics through a public conversation is this in any
way fascis
So this whole idea of a blogger code is nothing new -- I found a list of
several here on the net.

I'm not sure where the 'rules' part of the debate came in. isn't this code
just guidelines/suggestions that people can adopt if they choose. or ignore
if they prefer. or still call themselves a blogger even if they're not aware
of the code. it's not like this is the all defining blogger manifesto t
