A Call for Manners in the World of Nasty Blogs - New York Times
"Why I'll never sign up for any Blogger Code of Conduct" from The Intuitive Life Business Blog
I am all for civility, reasoned discourse, and coherent and respectful discussion in the blogosphere, as I am on discussion boards, in email, chat rooms, and even in real life. But I don't control the world, I can't tell you how you should be phrasing your sentences or conveying your thoughts, nor would I want to. Yes, there are certain views that are beyond what I will tolerate in my hosted discussion space, but <b>I still support your right to have those views</b> even if I occasionally click that "delete" button and kick your comment into the ether.
