[...] for the sake of others, I think this is unwelcome. Like I don’t think there should be a bloggers code of conduct, I’d worry that faux rules of civility would start to be imposed on others if we critique the [...]

Code of Conduct

So far I have refrained from posting on the Code of Conduct Â“storm in a tea cupÂ” stuff until I had a chance to read and digest the various points of view.

Tim OÂ’Reilly came up with an idea to have a Code of Conduct that blogs could adhere to comp…

Guardian gets it wrong, shocker

In what started with a mulley.net post against a blogger code of conduct, the Guardianâ€™s Organ Grinder blog has misrepresented what a prominent Irish blogger has said. While writing about â€˜content labelsâ€™ for blogs, Organ Grinder stated, â€œA few…

How did I get dragged into this debate. I was reading and agreeing with what you said, Damien and then Twenty Major alludes to the fact that this might have happened because she didn’t appreciate my site. Is there a reason for this comment?

[...] Iâ€™m writing this post in direct response to a post written by Damien Mulley, columnist for the Sunday Tribune in Ireland. Damien is well respected within the Irish blogsphere and is responsible for creating the Irish blog awards. Ok, so itâ€™s a small country with a few people when compared to the countries that most of our readers live in, but his view (and those who commentate on his blog) is undoubtedly valuable to this debate.

My first reaction to this hoop-la was that it was sick. People blog to the ether. When you blog it’s in a public space. Bullies are everywhere. The web is nothing different, except that the veil of anonymity protects web bullies a little more than the RW.

Adopting a code of conduct in personal blogging would stifle any kind of free speech. Codes of coducts in companies – that’s a different thing entirely. They have NDA and company policy to adhere to.

A blog is no more personal that talking to yourself in a public space.

Na na na na na , na na na na na,
I am soo getting you back for that D.

The thing is a blog is a pretty personal piece of cybereality
ad unlike internet forums there are no mods or admins to stand up on the behalf of the person being textually abused and saying we don’t like that type of thing around here. Nasty comments in a blog can be like somone graffiting your house.

Also a blogger as to be the admin of thier own blog for the most part and while many people have grasped the learning curve on adding thiers to thier sites and the plug and play of spam filtering iding and blocking ips from a blog may not be in everyones skill set.

Ireland is a pretty small place and all it takes sod all info for a person to be identifible and tracked down.

While strangers making comments has never bothered me as the likely hoods is that I am scarier then they are in person this does not mean everyone else does or should feel this way.

A community/soctiey is judge by how it treats it’s most vonerible members.

I don’t think a code of conduct is needed put rather that a person may need some support when others act uncivily.

There are still some rather nasty attitudes towards women in what is seen as ‘blokes things’ and this covers tech/gaming/interweb arenas.

Many people are prefering bogs or journals that have the function to have semi private posts as an option as a result.

difficult one to allude to without getting the â€œyou were asking for it because you were out in publicâ€? responseâ€¦

From who?
