Talk:Alternate Code of Conduct

From Blogging

[edit] Page Created

A much simpler code of conduct, talking about behaviour rather than implementation, which will change with technology. Based on http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/council/coc.xml

[edit] Code of Conduct

Well, nannyism aside the Alternate Code of Conduct is a much more acceptable format and list - but remember, limit it to the list! The 'blogosphere' is an open forum, gentlemen; when you enter it, you do so at your own risk. As a famous quote goes, "If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen!" Good manners vary from one society to another. What I consider rude, crude, and socially unacceptable is quite possibly the epitome of refined behavior elsewhere. And vice versa. When you venture into the Wild West (which wasn't, by the way - but that's another debate), you accept that the Thought Police were left in 1984 London, and gird your loins accordingly. Only a fool brings a knife to a gunfight; only a total Idiot comes totally unarmed and expects to survive unscathed - if at all! Good etiquette is a variable, and we cannot enforce it - except on OUR OWN BLOGS. If YOU run a Blog, YOU decide what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior - NO ONE ELSE can. Conversely, what I allow on MY blog, as long as it does not violate INTERNATIONALLY ENACTED Law - because the Internet IS an international place, perhaps the last free range - is NO ONE ELSE'S BUSINESS. If YOU don't like what I allow on MY BLOG - get OUT! Bluntly put? ACPOTI and FOAD.
